This is an amazingly well featured typeface where the author clearly has considered a number of use cases, particularly in terms of legibility at small sizes which is important for UI. This looks great! File size may be an issue for public web UIs, as someone mentioned, but there are so many more places this could be used to great effect. Will definitely consider for future projects!
- GordonS 8y agoAh, I was thinking there was no slashed zero, but scrolled further after reading your comment - it is indeed there as an option!
- PostThisTooFast 8y agoIt's a failure at first glance. The capital I has no crossbars, making it indistinguishable from a lower-case L. Any font suffering from this defect is SHlT, and you shouldn't have to hunt around for alternate faces to "fix" it.
- TheAceOfHearts 8y agoFYI: it's a bit easier to spot the variations if you highlight both the Disabled and Enabled examples in a line. The light-green blocks by themselves definitely make it harder for me to make out the details, but once highlighted the improvements are much more obvious.
- qwerty456127 8y agoWhat's the difference between 2:34, FE—X and 12:34, FE—X, 4.2 and 4.2, (SEMI)PERMANENT and (SEMI)PERMANENT? I can see no difference.
- mbreese 8y agoI assume the long dashes are replaced with a single character. For the colon and decimal points, they are slightly higher. For the time, the colon lines up with the middle of the numbers instead of the baseline. The differences are very subtle (but nice).
- Mikhail_Edoshin 8y agoThe colon, the dash and the parentheses are moved slightly up so that they look more balanced with the surrounding characters. The difference with the dot is very subtle and I cannot quite catch it.

- Semaphor 8y agoWow, it even has a visible difference for capital ß (ẞ) which is usually barely perceptible.
- applecrazy 8y agoIt even has an interrobang ligature!
