Actually one of the main advantages of the Courier Prime is that is isn't quite so slim. A lot of fonts were made based on the letterforms use in type -- the metal part. But of course on paper the ink bleeds a little, so some of these fonts are too thin. This is why paper is better than computers.
First of all, I want to say that criticism means I like you. If it's garbage I just ignore it completely. (I also ignore things because I'm lazy, so this is not a reliable indicator.) I really don't spend that much time thinking about fonts or a particular style, either -- more than anything, it's a way of encoding symbolic data, and I'd like to be able to read it fast and without errors. Which is why I obsess about I/l/1 and harder to read characters. I was going to say that "Inmate" might weird because of the "nm", but actually that "I" looks way too close. "qu" looks great. Less likely combos like "qp" and "qj" look, um, surprising. "ij" is a common letter combination in Dutch, and it would be nice if they aligned to the same height. It's okay if they look almost like a single character though, as it's kinda like "ij" -> "ÿ" -> "y". Capital IJ looks pretty cool, and kinda like リ.
Handel looks nice! Except I/l/1/! all look alike. Ill, I feel!
