Elements of the proportional font, like the little foot on the 'a' remind me of Lucida Grande. Lucida Grade was the original OS X system font, which B & H also developed. This is not their first rodeo, its all about licensing.
- inopinatus 10y agoThe monospace is clearly an offspring of Lucida Typewriter. It is slightly condensed, a touch heavier, and with some obvious code-friendly variations (like a single-storey 'g' and a crossed zero) and a quirky, asymmetric curve inside the bowl of the 'b', 'd', 'g', 'p' and 'q' that I've instantly warmed to. I'll give it a red hot go and develop in it for a day, but those chunky slab serifs are much busier than the Menlo I've preferred since 2009.
- myg204 10y agoDefinitely has a Lucida Grande feel to it, which, if I recall correctly, was one of the font on Plan9. The Go Mono isn't close to Lucida Grande Mono, but certainly looks like an interesting update.

- 4ad 10y agoYeah, Plan 9 used Lucida Sans Unicode, of which Lucida Grande is a derivatives with very minor modifications. Personally I use Lucida Grande for all my programming.
