Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

As far as I understand it, TTFs are more basic, while OTF can have more features and glyphs.

OTF is a modern extended version of TTF, with more features. Downsides are it can be bigger in filesize and could even take longer to load. But that is not really relevant for modern computing and one should default to OTF, unless there is a good reason to use TTF variant (if both are available).

Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded “corners” on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.

no dotted zeroes = no terminal use

I don’t think this font was designed for the terminal. It’s a sans font with some inspiration from monospace styling, but with focus of brand recognition and usage in headlines or text. That’s what I’m getting here. Similar to what Ubuntu does with their font.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
