What is the point of this? Either buy Berkeley Mono or go use something else.

Font piracy by tracing is legal. That's why the creators of the "you wouldn't download a car" ad, which used a traced pirated font, didn't get prosecuted.

This is a weird take. I can as the same in reverse: why buy Berkeley Mono if I can use this?

  • Here’s an even wilder take: to support the effort of someone that gave us an incredible font that is now being copied. Crazy right?

    • Sure, if you absolutely need the original one. Nobody is talking about illegal download of the original here.

      Not to mention that you can easily find free fonts similar to the mentioned font even without this chimera.
