@owen Very interesting font. lots of intriguing details - the enormous slabs, the energetic r, the sleepy a. There's a nice tension between solidness and slipperiness. Or whatever fontographers call it.

Every time I really look at Drafting Mono I see more charming bits. My favorite so far is the bottom half of the lower case "g". Wonderful! I also like that each end of the "c" curve is different, that the cross bar ( technical term, I'm sure) of the lower case "t" is off center, and that the lower case "r" reminds me of a small bathroom sink faucet. I'm sure you weren't going for that but that's what I see and I love it. One puzzling thing for me is the "f" in the middle of the word ,"drafting". It feels taller than it should. I'm sure it's an illusion because it isn't true when it is at the beginning of a word's endlessly fascinating.

@Baba @owen It's also interesting to me how different it looks at a big display size and at a smaller text size. All these little quirks that are obvious in the title sort of melt away at a smaller size.
