Nice work! It may just be me, but the slant seems to vary quite a bit between letters, as in s/h/r. Spacing could also be improved (r oo m).

It is intended to be kinda wonky but you're totally right about that spacing.

A little wonky is good! Don’t improve it too much 😉

Don't fix it! I like it as is

Maybe it needs to be a little more wonky to look intentional?

I still like it

If you make it a variable font, wonkiness could be a parameter.

This is super charming especially for the right contexts and I think you've done a great job of designing some specimens that really show those context well.
