I found it terrible, not only because of the surplus personality, but due to aesthetic and readability issues.
Readability - the r looks to me closer to an i, not the i of this font but a generic i, I find it confusing and it slows me down.
Aesthetically - the f character have space before it that in many combinations cuts a word to two, for example in the word delightful. Generally the font is mono-spaced, but the space between and after characters varies a lot.

I found it terribly incomplete. $40 and it can’t cover all four standard weights: regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. I believe it was last one, bold italic, that it was missing and the website is careful to obscure that fact.
