Yes, someone else commented privately they didn’t like the LED font, I changed the pressure to another font for comparison. 

Fonts are tough. People have strong preferences, and some people have eye problems that make it imperative to use certain kinds of fonts. When you send out text people can always change it with the defaults in the browser. What I like about the LED font is that it conveys the idea that this is computer generated data that changes. 

Personally, I have no trouble reading numbers in the LED font, but I wouldn’t want my next book printed in it.
