For the uninitiated, Berkeley Mono[1] (the font this is mimicking) is the oft cherished[2] font by Neil Panchal[3]

But no credit or thanks to Neil the designer of Berkeley Mono?
What is the point of this? Either buy Berkeley Mono or go use something else.
This is a weird take. I can as the same in reverse: why buy Berkeley Mono if I can use this?
Here’s an even wilder take: to support the effort of someone that gave us an incredible font that is now being copied. Crazy right?
Not OP, but I think the take is similar to: "why market yourself as a rip off of Neil's[1] work?"
