In fairness, a shell is a very different use case from a flight deck. (You note below that this is a flight deck font, not an ATC font.) An aircraft cockpit is mostly using type to display small pieces of isolated information, e.g. a speed or a list of 4-6 letter approach names, not a big wall of text (ACARS messages notwithstanding).
- regularfry 5y agoYes, but I had initially thought that the selection pressures would be similar enough, particularly around disambiguation, that good for one would be good for the other. Either that was untrue, or... they didn't do the design particularly well.
- _moof 5y agoYup, entirely possible. I haven't used it myself.
