Nu Sans

If you're looking for a font that's easy to read on computer screens, Nu Sans might just be it. This font is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font, which was designed by Apple's Human Interface people specifically for readability. What's more, this font is even used by the Newton and comes with the NewtonToolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit Demo.

One of the key features of Nu Sans is that it includes the Euro Symbol, making it a great option for anyone who frequently works with international currencies. Additionally, it excels at reading email and even enhances the look of ASCII art. Plus, it's a great sans-serif alternative to Courier, and its slashed zeros help distinguish them from capital "O"s.

In the latest release of Nu Sans, the font family has been expanded to include a bold italic variation. The name of the font has also been changed to NuSansMono (without spaces), ensuring that Adobe applications will list it properly in font menus. The entire family has been made compatible with FontReserve, and a bold weight has been added. Finally, be sure to note that the Euro character has also been added to the italic variation.
