I haven't used this font but looking at it closely, I can't find anything that I don't like. If that extends to its kerning etc, then I wholly approve. Much like Helvetica, it's not about what it has but what it doesn't have that makes it good. I would compare it to a comfort food, which may not seem so special on-paper, but that you never tire of and am always up to have.

I see that appeal of it for sure. To my eye though, there seems to be many fonts in the same category, which doesn't make this any special really. But I suppose you might be seeing something in it that makes it perfectly comfortable for you.

I don't really like using "comfortable" fonts much. I find most fonts try too hard to be pixel perfect, removing "imperfections" that can otherwise humanize a font.
