Aside from aesthetic modifications, if you find technical fault with any TypeTrust font, we will make any reasonable technical improvements. Our philosophy is that a typeface is always in development, but eventually meets common standards of usability and publication. If your personal standards merit further development of a TypeTrust font, we look forward to hearing your feedback.
