Glyphs for Latin characters and common symbols are based on Lexend. Other characters currently use DM Mono as a fallback.

Notable changes from Lexend include:

  • Double-storey 'a' to distinguish from the 'o'
  • '1' without bottom serif, to distinguish it from the lowercase L used by some fonts

Most other changes are to fit monospace style.
