alt Hacker NewsIt's a bit like the paid font Berkeley Mono which I've been using for a while now. But I think Nordwand feels softer and nicer, it embodies a message in the font (thus the fluency effect is more potent).
The message may be subjective but it strikes me as: "I, the font, contain important data [due to the sharp curvatures and uniform size of letter elements]. Not sure if others think about fonts in this way.
Berkeley Mono's message to me feels like "I'm just doing my job, don't mind me, focus on your thing".

It's a font inspired by older terminals and "no nonsense" hardware of that era. I put its design philosophy as "it's so good that it's invisible". Using it for years now, and it feels natural and neutral.
With Gruvbox dark, it really feels like I'm using an old terminal. Like how I like it.
