Two articles providing more information about the creation of this font: https://lii.enac.fr/projects/definition-and-validation-of-an... https://www.enac.fr/fr/une-police-realisee-par-les-chercheur...

In particular, a screen of an Airbus screen and a video showing parts of the creation are provided.

Curiously, the photo of the screen shows slashed zeros, while the font sample shows non-slashed zeros.

I noticed the same thing. It's the first thing I check when someone describes a font as "legible." I want to see O0olI|i diplayed.

The photo actually shows some slashed and some non-slashed zeros too. Look at the PSI numbers on the left versus the time numbers in the center right.

That doesn't seem great from a UX standpoint.

codepoint E007 is a slashed zero... would be interesting to know why this is not the default
