I like how the 0 gets a line as soon as MONO ≥ .50 Not a fan of those inktraps at heavier weights. If it's for UI and code, why does it need inktraps?

Small type can lose definition on screen just as much as in print, so “inktraps” are really just there to help make things more crisp in text.

Of course, they are there just as much for aesthetics if the type is used at large sizes.
