For the uninitiated, Berkeley Mono[1] (the font this is mimicking) is the oft cherished[2] font by Neil Panchal[3]

I think there was some backlash about the author of Berkeley Mono at some point. Might be a reason for considering this "copy".

    It's not that I believe all HN comments must be fruitful, but contributing the suggestion that there may have been "some backlash" against someone at "some point", could do with a little more help.

      That's fair.

      I only have a vague recollection, but I found [0]. I think there were also deleted posts on twitter from @usgraphics which I can no longer find, so that's limited.

      That being said, I'm a happy customer of Berkeley Mono, but I ended up liking Mono Lisa more [1].
