Comment on Server Mono: A Typeface Inspired by Typewriters, Apple's SF Mono, and CLIs

A single weight font doesn't really meet the needs of modern CLI environments does it?

And I don't get what the ASCII art have to do with anything. What does it depict? Screenshots from some scifi movie?

And finally oh god, l and 1 are literally the same.

Wait what? Do you seriously need bold fonts in your terminal? I find them annoying. I would much prefer a single weight.

It may not be just that. I sometimes end up using the light weight to improve readability, especially on light background, plus in some cases regular is more like semi-bold.
