I really like this!
Just a subjective thing -- I would consider offering Verdana in a future release, for those (like me) who aren't yet ready to lose that flavor of HN. But all the other adjustments are very desirable to me so far.
Regarding the name: The horse might be out of the barn, but calling this a "modern" HN sounds a bit too much like a value judgment to me, though I doubt you meant it that way (and I doubt anyone at HN really took offense). It also triggers all the curmudgeons who are hellbent against anything "modern" just because it's modern.

Great job!
