Creating such a close match impresses me. Many times, I'll like parts of a font, but can't abide by the line spacing, heights, widths, weights, or whatever.
The ability to more precisely "tune" a typeface would be neat.
Thanks. I'm sure Sprang loved having Hockney as a user! I must say that I am less fond of the digital art he made and much prefer the traditional, physical, paint on canvas.

I know for many people on this site their paychecks require them to promote genai trash, but how funny would it be for a successful visual artist to just start prompting their legacy into existence producing the same results that a toddler would get by banging on a keyboard into the same genai prompt input textarea to avoid having people on tech's payroll calling them "grumpy technophobes".
a single font can contain a maximum of about 65000 glyphs, but there are over 150000 defined Unicode glyphs, so a single font of last resort isn’t possible, unfortunately. Complete coverage would require multiple fonts.
I've never looked into this in detail before, you're right, it looks like android has over 100. Although composite font representation is supposed to fix this.
The poster for Colossus:Forbin was very disappointing. The title sequence graphics for the movie were great - but the poster doesn’t show a computer at all, although the movie is all about them.
I suspect that few professional (paid for) adverts use any fonts from dafont.com, and many fonts would anyway be unavailable to ordinary users. The current font recogniser programs are usually trained on commercially available fonts
But no credit or thanks to Neil the designer of Berkeley Mono?
