BM condensed, where does that land on the Bristol stool scale? Sorry I couldn't resist.

I am actually curious about this though, the Berkeley Mono font I found with a search does look quite nice. What's the deal with v2?

I've bought v1 and I'm quite happy with it as it is. It's just that I've been looking forward to the tweaks that'd been described for the last year and a half, like[0]:

"We threw away almost all of v1.00X, Berkeley Mono v2.000 improves substantially on legibility, fitting, and cohesiveness, especially for bold weights."

If I hadn't heard of v2 I wouldn't be missing it. But I have heard of it, goshdarnit, and now I want to see the new shininess!
