Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Free with Windows
Pro Compact while light
Packs lots of information into your screen space while remaining clear and never looking crowded.
Pro Renders perfectly at all sizes
Again, particularly in Windows
Pro Looks absolutely gorgeous in Windows
Looks good elsewhere as well, but the world-class hinting here really comes out with the windows rasterizer (probably optimized for it).
Pro Plain enough
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.
Cons
Con Not monospaced
-if that is an absolute must for you. But don't assume it is until you've tried without...
Con Missing weights
The regular weight is a little bit light for me, I'm waiting for the medium weight.
