Font hinting is not as useful as it once was. On modern high-resolution
displays, unhinted is a better choice. Additionally, switching to
unhinted provides sizeable space savings, about 60 MB for noto-fonts.
The Marelle font is specifically designed for teaching cursive writing
in primary school. see https://marelle.forge.apps.education.fr/ for samples

The EPSON MX-80 printer was a commercially successful product in the early
1980s. It was often used to print type in programs in computer magazines in
the 1980s. These fonts, transcribed from the "MX-80 EPSON DOT MATRIX PRINTER
TYPE II OPERATION MANUAL", are therefore useful for retro printout
simulation or program listings on web pages and in documentation.

The Monaspace type system is a monospaced type superfamily with some modern
tricks up its sleeve. It consists of five variable axis typefaces. Each one
has a distinct voice, but they are all metrics-compatible with one another,
allowing you to mix and match them for a more expressive typographical
palette.
Monaspace features Texture Healing, a novel technique that evens out the
density of monospaced type, bringing it closer to how proportional type
has looked for centuries. Texture healing preserves the monospace grid,
and works in most editors without needing new software or editor plugins.
