Cool. Thanks.

I also spotted the following: U+0199 U+01AD U+0253 U+0257 (ƙƭɓɗ) have
rather high hooks, the hook should be as high as . It doesn't have to
be the same as U+0066 (f) or U+017F (ſ) but it could help if they were
more familiar.
The hooks of U+0188 U+01A5 U+01B3 U+0260 (ƈƥƴɠ) are indeed lower, but
it's ok if they are more pronounced (thicker and a bit above o-height
for U+0188). For U+01A5 (ƥ) the form with the hook directly above the
descender (making it look like a thorn with a hook above) is also a
variant.

So basically ƭɓɗƙ should be like or close to fſ (how close depends on
design), then the hooks of ƈƥɠ should be a bit above x-height but
salient enough to be distinguishable from their hookless counterparts
at small sizes.

For the hooks below or tails of U+014B U+0192 U+0256 U+0272 U+0288
(ŋƒɖɲʈ) they should be like or close to j.
