@Jellby --- I've taken a quick test drive with DP Custom Mono 2.
Is it supposed to look so rough?

On my monitor (Win7, with ClearType on OR off), vertical stem thicknesses are variable, horizontals are much heavier than verticals, and it just seems "splotchy" --- like my eyes are watering.

I will grant that bumping up to a very large font size improves things, and I DO like the punctuation marks very much. Also the extra-wide horizontal kerning is very useful.

But the overall appearance gives me tired eyes. I think for now I will have to stick with my modded PT Mono (I increased the line height some).
