Pros
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 a free font
This is not a free font. It doesn't either come free with any software. So this isn't very accessible. There are free downloads for the wide version and the Condensed version, but none for the SemiCondensed width, which is the medium width.
Con Lacks in Unicode coverage
This font doesn't cover WGL4, therefore it lacks a lot in Unicode coverage.
Con Missing weights
The regular weight is a little bit light for me, I'm waiting for the medium weight.
