MonoLisa – A font designed for developers
I&#x27;m going to hop on my hobby horse again for a second:<p>One of their first points is this:<p>&gt;Designing a monospace font is much harder than a traditional, proportional one: being constrained by the same width of all glyphs can result in a boring or unreadable font.<p>And they&#x27;re absolutely right. But it begs the first-principals question-- why code using a monospace font?  Today, every major editor that isn&#x27;t terminal-based supports proportional width fonts beautifully.  It&#x27;s also incredibly rare to see modern style guides that depend on having consistent column widths. In 2022, there&#x27;s no technical reason to code using monospaced fonts. And there are a ton of beautiful and readable fonts out there -- There are probably a dozen pre-installed on your system that are more beautiful and readable than this font.<p>You see this tag line time-and-time again.  &quot;A font designed by and for software developers.&quot;  But font design is and art and a discipline.  Doing it well is very hard.
