Intel’s commitment to accessibility and open-source initiatives led VML’s research team to discover that developer eye strain was a significant issue, with no typefaces specifically addressing it. To strengthen connections with the developer community, VML and Frere-Jones Type collaborated with low-vision and legally blind developers, focusing on legibility and gathering feedback to refine the design. By releasing the typeface as open-source on GitHub, Intel built trust with developers. The project resulted in many awards, positive feedback on inclusivity, reduced eye strain, improved coding accuracy and enhanced brand affinity, with many devs adopting it as their default coding typeface.
