Yes, it's small, but "l" has a tail, and "i" is very prominent for what it is so while "I" is a column, it's an unmistakable one.

I want to see the infamous Turkish Quartet "ıiIİ" in action.



That makes only the lowercase L unambiguous, not the uppercase I )). But at that point, for a font intended for text with context, it is surely nitpicking on my part.

My ideal font is a san serif, in which the uppercase I had a small hint of serifs. I live in a fantasy world though, along with my Debian desktop and electric car.


For the intended context, the font is both elegant and unambiguous enough, so I have no qualms with that.

I also tend to like sans serif fonts, and my personal favorite is Inter these days. On the other hand, anything technical (terminal, programming, diagrams, etc.) gets Berkeley Mono as the only choice. Sometimes diagrams and labels get DIN though, if I feel fancy that day.

I also live in a fantasy world which I spoil myself with a Debian desktop, but an ideal car for me is a hybrid one, which I'm going to get in a near-ish future.


Berkley Mono looks great!

But not $75 great.


> Berkley Mono looks great!

Yes! I use it in all my systems' terminals and it's really a great font. Also it's a great homage to the fonts I used back in the day and the era that I missed.

It also works really well for programming.

> But not $75 great.

I'll respectfully disagree on that part. :)

Merry Christmas!
