Berkeley Mono Typeface

I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Of course the creators should get paid, its a lifetime license, I'm going to forgo some of my usual BS purchases and…

This looks great. It reminds me very much of the old vt100 font except that obviously without visible pixelation and gaps. Nice job.

I rarely get excited by fonts, but I'm loving this one. I only recently realized how long machine readable fonts have been around while working on a reproduction of the Apollo 11…

What a great marketing page. I loved the animation! I’m also a big fan of the design of the author’s website: https://neil.computer/

side note: what an absolutely beautiful website. clear and fast. I love it.

That marketing animation looked absolutely amazing!

Netflix is entertainment, typefaces have a LOT more utility in my life. Maybe I'm weird because I regularly purchase typefaces but $75 is a STEAL. Holy shit. The commercial…

I think the problem is more that the costs feel exorbitant with respect to both the perceived effort and utility. 75$ is half a year of Netflix - a product clearly born of…

> Berkeley Mono wears a UNIX T-shirt and aspires to be etched on control panels in black synthetic lacquer. It is Adrian Frutiger visits Bell Labs. It is Gene Kranz's command. It…

I'd pay something to use this on my personal machine, but I don't make printed materials, I just like a nice terminal font. Nor do I much care to use web fonts either, so while…

I can only really judge a font when its loaded in my system, running in my setup. I wish font makers targeting developers would release trial fonts (with some essential chars…

Looks nice in principle, but being suitable for the actual daily use (for coding) will depend on how it renders in a specific IDE at a specific size on a specific OS. There's…

Is it available as a bitmap font, i.e pcf or bdf? It is the only way I can get mono spaced fonts as crisp as I like them in linux desktop terminals.

The licensing is unclear/vague/contradictory... I'm totally confused what the 'developer' license actually means when it says you can use it for "personal use in professional…

Love this, but I find the yearly / per-seat pricing for commercial use very hostile. Nobody wants to be chasing bills for a single typeface in their project. A one-off charge…

Looks nice. You could support Hungarian with only two additional letters. I find the subscription license for commercial use a bit problematic. Say I have an app and I want to…

If you look at the Burgevouns comparison Berkley mono is the least good. It's compared to non-mono fonts which, naturally, have better kerning. Having three different…

The Zero and capital "O" look quite similar to my eye: https://berkeleygraphics.com/static/images/marketing/code-symbols.svg I doubt that this amount of work overlooked such a…

I really like the font, but I doubt that a claim of “wide language support” can be made when Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and other scripts are not supported.

I do not have any problems paying for something that I will use several hours every day. But would like to try the font in my editor before purchasing. Could have a demo download…

I really like the font. At least at mobile it seems to be extremely clear. I cannot pinpoint why. But to try it in my editor it seems I need to buy a $75 license first. Is there…

I would love to see ligatures incorporated but I understand that is a polarizing opinion. I love the little niceties of rendering arrows which are used all over the place these…

Does it has ligatures? If it doesn't, it should be a pretty good thing to add to some people.

I can’t tell from the page - is this powerline compatible? Many of us all have fancy prompts and other text envs that need powerline glyph support.

I can’t tell from the page - is this powerline compatible? Many of us all have fancy prompts and other text envs that need powerline glyph support.

I enquired and I was told in no uncertain terms that the license forbids patching. This means that you cannot use the popular Nerd Fonts [1] patch set for adding missing glyphs.…

At a risk of sounding like a font snob, what's the difference between this and Roboto?

Very similar to JetBrains Mono.

As a dev who constantly switches out fonts / themes & also pays for them, a few things to note: - I mainly test for clarity, how HD something is on my IDE from 12 to 16px. I paid…

Very effective presentation. It looks fantastic. Will be good value at $75 for some people but not for me with so many other great mono fonts available (many with code…

I actually wanted to make it simpler. Separating professional use (this is how Input Mono font does it) and commercial use allows developers to use fonts for their daily work,…

I use the Go font: https://go.dev/blog/go-fonts Free and beautiful.
