A lot of the details they spent so much effort on didn't make any sense to me as to why that particular design detail would be important. I don't care about vertical alignment of letter shape details. If I need lowercase letters to look bigger, I almost always also need uppercase bigger too, so I'll just increase the font size +1 pt.
I use three different fonts in terminals, editors and IDEs. So I'm sure this font will look good to someone and will find a use. At the moment I can't find a use for it. For now I'll stick with Operator Mono, Cascadia Mono and Fira Mono.

IMHO, fonts have been studied too deeply for too long for some graphic designer at J. Random Corporation to be able to easily make improvements. In situations like that, most changes and new ideas end up being regressions.
- core-questions 7y agoConsider how many new hacker fonts we've seen on here in the past year or so. Is there really that much unexplored terrain in this landscape?
- gecko 7y agoWe’ve seen a large upgrade due to the increasing interest in ligatured programming fonts that are optimized for Retina display. In that context, maybe: this is really the third entrant after Fira Code and Cascadia. But I doubt it.
- threatofrain 7y agoIn contrast to Operator Mono I'd also advise peeking at Fantasque Sans Mono and Victor Mono as Operator-lites.
