This reminds me of the eye chart used in some countries, because it isn't based on reading letters, but on a direction. For example [0], you should indicate the direction where the E points to. [0]: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MRfRwHwWL._SL1235_.jpg

probably to evoke the feeling of undergoing an eye exam.
I can hear the tech asking "number 1 or number 2"
I wish I could book 30 minutes alone with the machine and just dial it in perfectly myself.
Is it just me or does it look eerily similar to the font Anthropic uses?
Nice font. Could have done without the dude's tinder profile pic though.
You know you swiped right. I had the same odd sentiment about the use of the images as well. It does nothing for me about wanting to use the font.
From the designer's website ( https://anti.as/optiker-k ) it seems that this was commissioned by ANTI Hamar for the rebranding project for Optiker-K, a Norwegian optician and optometrists store. This is fantastic! More custom fonts like this should be open sourced. To me the font looks pretty legible. Worth noting that the font is from 2018, so it's not really a new font, but it is still one of my favorites.

It's probably just me being a huge introvert, but I dislike saying "I am not sure do it again" more than twice and am always left a bit discontent wondering if the prescription is as good as it should be. I wish I could book 30 minutes alone with the machine and just dial it in perfectly myself.
Adding -0.5 to the diopter will often make the distance noticeably sharper in appearance while not really giving you more lines you can read, it's a sensation of sharpness but not really more info. And for that you a price because near vision will require straining your eye muscles to accommodate, and that will often cause headaches and tiredness after reading or working at a monitor.
That main image makes my astigmatic eyes very unhappy. https://optician-sans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Comp-3....
That's horrible, the full page blur is less bad since it's so obvious. But man, you should never be intentionally gaslighting the user by making them second-guess their own vision.
I like how one of the testimonials is someone at Adobe basically quoting the copy at the top of the page. "OPTICIAN SANS: A free font based on the historical eye charts and optotypes used by opticians world wide." - top copy “A free typeface based on opticians’ eye charts” -Khoi Vinh, Principal designer, Adobe
I think all the testimonials are fake, if this wasn't clear to everyone. I thought they might be real at first but none of them exist. I actually thought that was kind of shitty to do, since they use real companies and media outlets. (I don't really follow fonts but I do know there is a subculture crazy about them, so I thought it could be theoretically possible that people would write reviews of them).
