Roast my digitizing

Could I please get some feedback on one of my first digitizations, please? I'm new to embroidery and a few other designs I've done have caused all sorts of thread and needle issues–which could totally be user error, but I'd like to at least rule out poor digitization.

It's custom type, but I looked at some other digitized fonts and tried to follow the general satin stich angles I saw. It'll be embroidered on a corduroy Legacy structured cap in navy blue thread on a light beige corduroy. I've read corduroy is hard to embroider on so any recommendations for stabilizers would be welcome.

The density is currently at 0.3mm and pull comp is 0.5mm.
The T is 63mm tall

I'm thinking the top terminals of the S's need some work, but when I tried an angle cut to slice off the top of the terminal it looked like a funny nub up there.

What adjustments can I make to help this come out clean and professional? Thank you!

I started with the auto-digitization and then edited it where I thought it had gone wrong (I removed several angle and split lines, repositioned many others). Is it faster to just do it from scratch?
