Font ugly especially on Alphas, I do not need a font adapted for myopic.
Dislike the shortened legends on Nav cluster. Even more the fact that "PGUP" is one row and "PG DWN" is two.
But yeah retro window keys are great.

DLT is bothering me. I think I prefer Delete. And PGUP and PGDN need to be consistent. Having PGUP as one line and PG DWN as two lines is kinda throwing me off. I definitely prefer arrows in the arrow cluster to words.

I think there's more than enough monochromatic colorways so I'm not digging anything grey/black/white anymore. But that font is intriguing.

That O looks so off centered. I kinda like the colour scheme.

The font is definitely not doing it for me
