Almost monospaced: the perfect fonts for writing
Isn&#x27;t the whole point of monospaced fonts columnar alignment (e.g. the table in the article)?  Seems like &quot;almost&quot; defeats the point.<p>Then again, I don&#x27;t see values lined up much these days:<p><pre><code>    {
      &quot;someKey&quot;:       &quot;someValue&quot;,
      &quot;someOtherKey:&quot;  &quot;someOtherValue,
</code></pre>
and if you only care about leading whitespace (that is, the whitespace before a character appears on the line), maybe it doesn&#x27;t matter how your font is spaced.<p>I suspect numbers in these almost-mono fonts are monospaced, so numerical values should still have nice rhythm too.
