Zed Text, not affiliated with the Zed text editor.

Nope, has nothing to do with https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts

I think this ended up on the front page because people instinctively upvoted Zed-something.

I dislike this trend of common words being used for tools

It started with Go, then Rust, then Zed. Whatever happened to giving a unique name like Hadoop?

Moreover, these new names seem to not consider the ambiguity issues in browser searches.

This looks like a cool typeface in how much it can vary itself, but the price feels extremely expensive, and I don't like having to keep track of which of my library of typefaces are allowed to be used on which projects based on which license I bothered to buy for that typeface. Saying that I want to load the font onto a video server raises the price for a single variant to $1500ish, and there is no clarity on what license you need for web videos. Does that count as a movie license, or a TV license, or a web site license?

This made me think of Recursive Sans and Recursive Mono, two fonts which are also very malleable with multiple settings, but also open source.
