"Zero distinguished from capital "o"? CHECK"

Sorry, I have to disagree. In fact, that was the first thing I saw and decided I "disapprove" this typeface.

Why? Because it looks too similar to norwegian Ø.

It's a very good idea to clearly distinguish zero 0 from capital O, but it should not look like Ø ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98 ) either, because there are many swedish businesses, websites, etc. operating in Norway. I know swedish alphabet uses Ö ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96 ), but still.
