On: Tiresias typeface

[fao_]

In the same vein it's worth checking out Atkinson Hyperlegible -- a typeface that I find utterly beautiful and I've personally found legible at extremely tiny sizes.

I really, really want a monospace version, and while they've made the font "free software" (someone I know emailed them to double check the license), I lack the necessary knowledge to do that

That's neat! I went looking for same thing. Checking out iosevka [0][1] now.

I've used iosevka for years - the thing that makes it truly brilliant is you can configure it however you want based on the characters you prefer.

I have iosevka-<myname>.ttf on all my machines with it tuned just how I like it.

OCR-B font has been around for many decades and doesn't seem all that different in style.

Font design is all about the subtleties. I'm pretty sure most discrete classes of fonts look the same, distinguished by how they handle specific characters, and style and position the letters.

I really like that font. Nice find.
