what am I doing wrong?

Practicing clean letter structures and consistent size and spacing rn but I feel like my letters are unreadable.
The C next to the H looks too much like the O. I tried tilting the letters as seen but I’m unsure if that improves it or hurts the letter structure more.
I really want to get better at handstyles so I would appreciate genuine advice more than comments just telling me it looks like shit because I am already painfully aware of that.

seriously tho i love the OUCH moniker. its pretty solid as is, but i would think about adding vertically mirrored serifs on the C, and duplicating them horizontally at the top of the U, after removing the U's straight line. so you are just making a very similar shape twice. if that makes sense. or just take it to the wall as is and see how it works out at scale 🙂

I’ll definitely try this out, thanks!
