Hello,
the design looks fine and will work Try to think of making areas 2 and 3 stub areas, since they have only one exit point...

Hello @TimeOut ,
this design is correct as area 0 is in the middle interconnecting all areas.
A minor note is that R1 and R2 should have a common link in area 1, but OSPF supports your current setup, because LSA tpye 3 injected in the backbone have no reference to the original area-id.
Also there is no redundancy in the backbone some more links in area 0 would be desirable fro example another link between R2 and R4 could be helpful.
Hope to help
Giuseppe
