A monospaced, serif retrofuture font designed to be easily legible while still having a distinctive visual style. Full Basic Latin and some extended symbols.v2 improves legibility of "m" and several symbols (mathematical operators, mainly) ~12Kb .zip (getting v3 instead is recommended) 2-21-12: Applied v3 punctuation fixes since this was made a top pick instead. v3 still has more improvements, though, even in the Basic Latin set.

Great font. Reminds me of Lady Starlight, but this is much better!

I love how you kept the style for almost every glyph. 10/10!

Thanks! It was inspired by, and named in honor of, Lady Starlight, but I think the only glyph that's actually almost the same is capital B. I specifically designed this to be as legible as but more interesting to look at than Courier in code windows - and I'm about to make a couple of tweaks, to enlarge the + and - signs and make m less like n. Lady Starlight, of course, had no lowercase, and only one style of brackets/parentheses, and hence was really only suited to being a banner font or artistic appearance on computer screens that are part of a larger image.

Edit: Done! Also, if you tell me specifically which glyphs you feel don't keep the theme, I will at least look at fixing them... the only ones I can really think off are the (C) (R) and TM, which are small enough I couldn't really see how to.

I like the slightly distorted, irregular, quasi organic feel, the effort to keep away from the mechanized modularity of the genuine 70s computerish fonts.which it is inspired of.
