Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

    I…don’t hate it? Why am I not horribly offended by this?

      Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.

      I think some of the reason might be that Comic sans used to have really bad kerning. But with a mono font it is not really an issue.

      Yeah, this has me intrigued. May try it out in vscode just for a lark. Possibly actually will be easier to read with some nice shapes…

    Oh no, I was ready to pick up my pitchfork, but that is super legible. Brb, I need to go take a look at myself in the mirror…

      Definitely makes sense considering some dyslexic people have found it helpful in terms of legibility

        Yep, it shares a lot of characteristics with fonts like Dyslexie, but without some of the more irritating (but helpful) gravity additions that throw off non-dyslexic readers and/or just look odd.

          The additions throw off some dyslexic readers too, I’ve always had an even harder time reading purpose-built dyslexia fonts. Comic mono is top tier for me, it still looks stupid but the readability is incredible.

    I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I’m impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.

      Reducing the font-size makes it look pretty great.

        Looks to me like it has a ligature that visually appears as two separate characters but are spaced to be close together. See the <= in the code examples on the page.

    This looks way better than it has any right to, I expected to hate this. Now I’m looking at fonts again reevaluating some shit

      I actually like this one. Does it have a monospace version?
