$149 for a font for personal computer use is kind of steep! I would pay $20 for this, but the value has to be pretty high to pay $149 when there's a huge selection of free fonts on nerdfonts.com, of which many are pretty great. Like what does this font really offer that makes it so pricey?
If you’re going to stare at it year in and year out, getting the best fit for yourself is worthwhile. I shelled out for PragmataPro ages ago and have no regrets there.
I bought Operator Mono circa 2020 for even more — still rocking it today. Seems like a no big deal for a thing you keep looking at for many hours every day.
kiliman/operator-mono-lig on github patches it to support ligatures. And I wish Hoefler guys added support for more languages

I bought the first version for far less. I couldn’t believe how much they wanted this time around.
