Yo where most definitely helpful! The name ESTELLA comes from the word Estellar, which relates to the stars, but not necessarily to the popular idea of the outer space. I took as an inspiration the ancient greek concept of the cosmos as an inner force that allows to be virtuosos in anything that we might choose to do. This is why I tried to make the typeface clean and airy, as attempt to make it look graceful and sophisticated. Following this is also the idea of balance (of body and mind) thus the symmetric and geometric shapes.
Diggin' the contrast between the angles and super round curves here. Gives the typeface a sense of rhythm. The face definitely has elements of stone-chiseled hieroglyphics, especially with the angular crossbars, pointed vertexes, etc. It seems confident, modern, forward-thinking, and subtly edgy.
The only crit I have for the face is to check some of the widths, like on the D,J,M,and Y letterforms. While I love the crossbar (?) of the G, it doesn't feel cohesive with the rest of the face. Either bend the crossbar some, like within the A or H, or bring that straight across bar element into some of the other letterforms. Everything else has an angled focus while that G draws attention to it's horizontality.

Besides that man, it's a stellar face. Well done!
