A while ago I shared my font comparison tool that I used to review and compare a custom font to the reference font I started from. I went from Newsreader -> Readerly -> Libron.
That tool is available here if you want to take it for a spin: https://fontcomp.nicoverbruggen.be
I'll be open sourcing it soon, too.
