Wow, the website navigation is incredible! I wish more websites were like that.

Whether or not one personally likes the idiosyncratic navigation, it’s inconsistent with the font’s normcore ethos

You're so right, but if I made the site boring people wouldn't have anything to complain about.

The shortcuts also do not work properly on the most common US QWERTY layout (eg. the "-" key does not).

They do work on most EU layouts though, where eg. "-" is placed left of Right Shift (on US QWERTY it is right of "0"), which likely indicates the author made this using some EU keymap...

As a guess, this is using deprecated keycodes [1] instead of just characters.

How is ligature support? I didn't see anything explicit about ligatures. If you want to compete with some of the other compared fonts, there should be some support for ligatures.

This font is not recognized as a monospaced font by both putty and mintty on my Windows 10, even after a reboot.

// sorry for the initial typo of mintty as minty
