“The trick to googling nowadays is to add ‘reddit’ to your query…and then scroll past the most upvoted posts, which are invariably awful jokes…yep, now scroll past the suggestions that the OP explicitly mentions having already tried…and now scroll past the comments about the alternatives available that the OP should have gone with to avoid their current situation but is unhelpful to them now…“
Tooting into the void: It sucks so bad that Reddit has almost entirely replaced niche- and hobby-specific forums.
@louie Glad I could help :)

@louie Closest I could find is Gloucester Bold Extended. It's not quite spot on (there are some subtle differences in the shape or angle of the serifs), but – to my eye – the characteristic qualities of those numerals are a match with this set (e.g. the blobby base of the 7, the unique lean of the 6 and 9, the straight, unserifed crossbar of the 4, etc).

@samhenrigold @alexanderdyas @Gargron I’d argue that this doesn’t account for its uses when paired with the Pencil – there’s a lot of users who are actively creating things on the iPad, for which the form factor specifically excels
@HilliTech @paul Fwiw, as an owner of a (non-OLED) Spectrum monitor, I don’t think I’d ever recommend the company’s products. Among other issues, the firmware is just an unfinished mess, years after release. Too many bugs and rough edges for something I interact with every day.
@nileane Used to pay for Kagi until about a year ago, when an image result from Stormfront appeared in my search results. I joined their discord server so I could ask if this was an intended/acceptable outcome and Vlad gave me roughly the same answer. According to him, if I didn’t want to see results from a Nazi forum showing up, I should simply block it – it is not for them to dictate. I expressed how myopic I thought their ‘principles’ were and cancelled my subscription.
@kevin Any particular examples that you can share? Curious how other (mostly 2D designers) found uses for it
@boardman I would absolutely be interested, if it’s still not spoken for! I’m located in Toronto – whereabouts are you located?
