Argh!!! This is precisely the problem when you give developers a designers' problems. It is not possible to engineer your way around every problem.

In this specific case, the font is blurry, unattractive, and lacking any character. It looks like someone tried to autotraced a photocopied fax of a carbon copy.

It's an interesting experiment to be sure – but this is not, in anyway, a solution to … anything.

The author doesn't imply that it's attractive or useful, just that it's the average of all the fonts on this system. He even jokes that the name meaning "mechanical breakdown or damage" is somehow appropriate.

This is, in some ways, the solution to... visualizing the average of all the fonts on this system.

(Although, I think the result is attractive. Probably not very readable, or useful other than for some sort of logotype. Almost makes me think of letters made out of the balls in world of goo.)

I think it's pretty.
