Reminds me of Old Timey [1] a lot. What I really love about both of them is that they instantly give you the impression of a real print made with real ink. Especially Averia - which makes sense, since it was averaged from all sorts of different fonts - has a lot of, for the lack of better word, excess fat on it. Something that may happen accidently while pressing "precise" font letter on soft paper. [1] https://webonastick.com/fonts/old-timey-mono/

It looks best in all-caps, since that's what the diagrams that used the lettering sets used. You can get a good sense of how it looks with the Unicode table: https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/unicode-coverage.html

Also reminiscent of CNC router fonts. https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/ Discussed here a few times. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30190397

Based on Reproducing Typewriter, a letterpress typeface from c. 1906 used to create fake typewritten letters for promotional material. Where other monospace typefaces replicated actual typewriters, Reproducing Typewriter had improvements for better readability at smaller point sizes and/or where poor quality reproduction was an issue. I thought its features would make it the basis of a good coding font, too. Old Timey Mono is much closer to the original while Old Timey Code makes it an even better typeface for writing source code. It was the coding font used in the Turbo Pascal 3.0 user manual. I've not seen it elsewhere except old patents' cover pages. Enjoy and if you have any comments or questions, comment or enquire away. https://github.com/dse/old-timey-mono-font https://webonastick.com/fonts/old-timey-mono/

You can get Marcin Wichary’s version from https://shifthappens.site/store/ Routed Gothic is a fairly good free version https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/ The national park typeface is another pantograph router style font https://nationalparktypeface.com/

https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/ Also links a number of variations. Another font is “Simplex”, which I think is often still found in CAD products.

The Routed Gothic font has 60-70s technical drawing vibes https://webonastick.com/fonts/routed-gothic/

>people will say some of the same things about Node.js or Rails that have been said about PHP for the last decade. Really? Please tell me which of these things: http://webonastick.com/php.html applies to ruby. People have been complaining about javascript being shitty for just as long as javascript has existed.

They did the same thing at the 2000 Atlanta Linux Showcase. http://webonastick.com/photos/als2000/mvc-600s.jpg
