I'm unsure if "no descenders" provides increased clarity. For example, lowercase q is easy to recognize because your eyes are already drawn to it being one of few characters that descend. In the case of this font, you have a small uppercase Q as the lowercase q. This feels like it accomplishes the opposite of this stated benefit.
Letter spacing is not great for that 'i' indeed. Monospace fonts use a very wide serif at the bottom, or an extended arm to make the i appear equally-spaced, which this typeface seems to have ignored.

What's the benefit of no descenders?
Cool! I love it! To really show it off you could compare yours vs a regular one with line height = 0.9 or something
Ancient Latin and Ancient Greek also did just that: lowercase didn’t exist yet.
Makes me want to try and write code in uppercase only (or not).
I like the theme of the website, though!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give this a try.
Hey, this is my first font design, constructive criticism welcome! Thanks.
It's very nice, but why? The lack of descenders makes it slightly harder to read. More of the letters look the same.
Love how legible this is. Exactly how my brain (trained on 8-bit micros) expects a font to look!
