I still can't figure out the rationale behind the design of (, ) in B612. Why they made it look like [, ]?

- boffinAudio 2y agoYes, this is the exact reason I selected AzeretMono instead of B612 in the final round - the difference between (, ) and [, ] .. It is indeed an odd failing of B612 and I wonder if it is because of some context in the Airbus cockpit (for which B612 is designed) that makes this difference moot. Or, not ...
- AnthonBerg 2y agoThat is interesting! Thanks for pointing out the bracket shape. As B612 was designed for aircraft cockpit displays, I wonder if the brackets are squared like that to ensure “()” won’t be mistaken for “O” or “(“ for “C”? When the work environment involves glancing at and scanning flight related data in a multi-screen cockpit, I can imagine that clarifying that sort of ambiguity is more important than ensuring brackets are immediately distinguishable – as opposed to what I’d want in programming.
