The main problem I see with this typeface is the inconsistent rendering at different resolutions and by different browsers.

On Chrome it looks terrible at my default settings (the most obvious is that the small letters t are very small - for example in the word now there "Patrick" the top of t is scarcely above the top of the a and the r. It looks OK in Explorer. When I zoom out so I can barely read it of course it isn't good, but then when I zoom in again it looks better, then worse, then better, then worse, then finally it looks OK all the time when it's really huge. It's almost like the typeface is really sensitive to the pixel positions themselves.

Of course I am deeply amused by what happens when you google the word "kerning" so perhaps I'm not AC's target audience for website beauty.
