I felt weird buying Berkeley but I’m very happy with it as well. I knew I liked it when I got the trial and yet I felt this aversion to paying for a font for several weeks. Then it dawned on me: I was depriving myself of enjoying someone’s hard work because I didn’t want to spend a fairly small amount of money for a thing I’d use for my work every day. Sort of an everyone loses situation. I can be bizarrely cheap, and it’s kind of embarrassing when I break it down. I lose time and money to my irrational cheapness. Berkeley’s sharpness and legibility has been unmatched for me and I think that’s what draws me to it so much. I know others will say it’s not sharp or legible, and it’s a totally personal thing. We get good at reading on different screens with different characters, and we’re gradually trained to see in different ways. For me, Berkeley absolutely nails it.
