Boeing 737 flap lever is shaped like a wing. The landing gear handle is shaped like a wheel.

Not by accident.

Quick update. New definition version v1.1.2, users can now build using the old name, "Berkeley Mono" with customizations. Seems like a trivial change, but it took longer than expected to implement. Also added contextual help, which ideally should not be hidden but for now it is better than nothing.

If you login with your v1 purchase email address, v2 has been upgraded including condensed styles free of charge and you should see "Master Fonts" allocated to your package which includes 120 styles.

That covers 99% of the customers.

You've hit the core issue with typefaces of that genre. How to achieve legibility and usability while still being futuristic and unconventional?

This aspect underpins the on-going work and it has been going on for 2 years now.

Using a different profile pic here to tell which platform we are on, we'll be semi-active here now. Some really cool people. The UI of bluesky is nice and familiar. Feels snappier than X. Nice!

We are making a change to allow BerkeleyMono (without a space) as an option.

The issue if I recall was something to do with postscript name length restrictions and then the TX-02 name stuck for last year or so in development.
