It's negative, but I can definitely appreciate the honesty. Those who don't like it can ignore it, but I'm happy to see comments like this peppered about rather than a series of congratulatory messages and "obligatory" pats on the back.

Providing real, honest feedback is the only useful reply. Kudos to you. If your assessment is negative, then provide negative feedback. If it's positive, positive. No need to over-flower everything, we're all trying to help each other around here.

While I agree with your original comments, not sure I agree with this. It's the #2 story on HN because HN readers upvoted it that way, no "fault" of this guy. And being on HN, I think it is the perfect forum for feedback, the guy even states criticism is welcome, it's as much a learning process for him too.
[Edit: I think the rest of this comment was too negative, and the guy submitting it doesn't seem to be the author of the font, which I didn't realize, so was perhaps not really applicable. Never mind!]
