Operator: a new monospaced typeface, with a gorgeous ad

What a stunning – and informative – ad for a typeface

OK, it’s an advert. But it’s a beautiful advert. And it’s informative; I learnt a little bit more about monospaced typefaces, and their roots in typewriters. And quite a bit about typefaces and coding.

I’m so tempted to buy Operator – but over $200 is not something I can justify to myself.
