i feel like this is a good argument if you could show some evidence that another font designer put any thought beyond mere aesthetics in thaer decision making.

What i would like to see from someone like you, that criticises the work on display, in this instance, would be:

    -what font do you currently use?
    -what evidence do you have that it was 'designed by a font designer'?
    -what evidence do you have that such and such designer made decisions that are more accurate than the ones made here and for what reasons?
    -is there a write up by said designer that describes those decisions and possible alternatives and reasons for doing one while avoiding another?  .. this is my issue with the post, i feel it is too sparse on self addressed argument ..

if it's your first time in costa you should know that it is a very expensive country, though Osa is a bit down the less expensive end,

beyond rent, meaning food and entertainment, the prices are basically the same as stateside, sometimes more expensive...~4500 calones for a six of pilsen cans...

just letting you know so you and yours can aptly prepare

that said, i think this is a wonderful idea, and you are going to have a great time in costa

i write quite a bit with git, and recently brought an old collab project with a friend onto it.

i do all of the git work, and i just have my friend add my edits to his document, then he sends it back and i diff the two for potential errors... he requested it be this way because he is stuck in his ways, but we've agreed to go full git on book two in the series...

that said, when i first started sending him diff files we both saw this as a problem... my solution? i just wrote a script that i run on the diff to just highlight the changes made, then send him the new edited diff.

    -PARAGRAPH
    +PARAGRAPH

becomes :

    -SENTENCE
      -word...word
      +word...word
    +SENTENCE

... i place git's diff at the bottom of the file in case he wants to look that over as well, but this cleans up the edits real nice

do you know of any languages that have a sort of inverted switch statement to clean up a list of if statements like this?

something like:

    invswitch err !=nil {
    case 'err := binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, int32(len(g.Name)))': return err
    case _, err = w.Write([]byte(g.Name)): return err
    case err = binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.Age): return err
    default: return binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.FurColor)
    }

my bad,

i was looking at his site typographyforlawyers.com page,

on the page linked he has a few other suggestions:

Pitch,

Kettler,

Nitti

; and Nitti seems to satisfy those simple needs,

i think i will take a look

nice clean site,

whenever i see talk of typography i always run to the thoughts on monospace fonts,

perhaps lawyers lack the same needs from monospace fonts as programmers...

both of his suggestions for courier alternatives:

FB Alix... his own,

Courier 10

; lack even basic needs such as easily distinguishable 0 and O and 1 and l...

of course i type this comment into a textarea using courier... that then prints Verdana... on a site arguably for people interested in programming and its tangential influence,

so perhaps i am the only audience
