About:
Blinker is a monospaced slab-serif typeface designed for clarity in programming environments and terminal emulators. It offers excellent readability at small sizes with distinct character differentiation to prevent confusion between similar glyphs. The font includes multiple weights and supports extended Latin character sets for international development needs.

Key Features:

Monospaced slab-serif design for code alignment
Optimized legibility for terminal and IDE environments
Multiple weight variants (Regular, Bold, etc.)
Extended Latin character support
Clear differentiation between similar characters (0/O, 1/l/I)

Use Cases:

Programming in terminal-based editors like Vim or Emacs
Reading and writing code in IDEs with high-density displays
Terminal emulator sessions requiring clear character distinction
Technical documentation and code screenshot clarity

Alternatives:

font-fira-code – Fira Code includes ligatures, while Blinker focuses on pure monospaced clarity without ligature complexity
font-jetbrains-mono – JetBrains Mono is optimized for IDEs with taller x-height, Blinker offers slab-serif characteristics for different aesthetic preference
