Pangrams

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. How vexingly quick daft zebras jump! 0123456789 oO0 iIlL1 g9qCGQ ~-+=>

Philosophy

One fixed set of glyph variants (noCvSs = true) — nothing to configure.

Condensed by default

Narrower glyphs, more columns. The same terminal fits longer lines and more code on screen without wrapping.

Why "Paper"

I like paper. Origami, cranes, KorigamiK — the name followed.

Only what's needed

Three weights, two widths, true italics at 9.4°.

No lookalikes

0O 1lI 8B — always distinct.
