Here's an Iosevka config that mimics Berkeley Mono for those who don't want to or can't pay money for it. https://ahatem.github.io/IoskeleyMono/
replyWow.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, indeed.
replyWow. So Gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing this
replyFunny enough I paid for Berkeley Mono but its italic is just not up to it (and particularly not to the price). Iosevka Mono has very nice glyphs but just way too narrow for my taste. JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono (or Lilex) or Roboto Mono just seem to work much better for my tired eyes !
replyFair enough. With super-compiler add-on, I believe you can adjust the angle of the italics.
replyI faintly remember about the though process of italics, but I don't remember it now. They don't look uncomfortable to me, anyway.
Looks like the daisywheel typeface that one of the old ACT Sirius Ones at my dad's old work used to use.
replyIt's designed to look like a font from that era, to be honest. It also reminds me some of the older computers I used. Some typewriter, maybe a real VT320 or the older DOS systems I used.
replyIt's a modern yet period correct version of these older fonts, with proper character set support and love for details. It's so perfect for me, it becomes invisible, or as the Berkeley's page says: "It's boring. It's good"*.
Or as I mailed the creator after using it a couple of weeks: "It's so perfect that it transported all my computers to 70s, in a good way".
*: When I was writing this comment, I wondered whether I really set my browser's monospace font to Berkeley. It becomes that transparent after a while.
wow i love it! 225 bucks for a font though is bonkers
replyI first bought it for $75, then the updates came. I also got them when they came out, but I don't remember the price.
replyYou can start with $75 package and work your way up if you feel like you need them.
If you like Berkeley Mono but don't want to pay, here's an Iosevka configuration that attempts to mimic it as closely as possible. https://ahatem.github.io/IoskeleyMono/
replyWhat am I missing: here it lists as SIL OFL [0]
replyThey're referring to Berkeley, not Iosevka.
replyThanks! Should have read more carefully. To make things more confusing there seems to be IoskeleyMono as free alternative btw [0]
