It's easy to distinguish "0" from "O", "a" from "o", and "I" from "l" from "1".

The font does not distract you with weird glyphs – but is interesting enough to be loved.
Pro Legible
The font is wide enough to be legible but not too much so you can actually fit some information on your screen.

Bold and italic are too wide, so it's not pure mono in combination with regular font.
