The font he's created is great. I wasn't fond of the sharpness initially, especially when the text is blown up, but it reads wonderfully when it's at a 'normal' text size.
I must confess - I had no idea fonts were so expensive to license! (Not a criticism of the cost, just ignorant until now).
I had the same experience - found the blown up version to not be appealing at all, but ended up really liking, as you put it, the readability of the normal sized text.
