Goodbye Quicksand: 3 Free Font Alternatives

[@voidmind]

If you are looking for content ideas, I'd love to see you cover programming fonts. In recent years, there has been an explosion of monospace fonts supporting beautiful, and easy to read ligatures for common character combination found in code. The font that made ligature popular is named Fira Code, but there are many more. Lately there is also a new trend where some fonts having a completely different typeface for italics. Popular coding editor themes like VS Code use italics for certain programming keywords, and these fonts will make those look more visually distinct compared to plain old slanted characters. For example, the free Recursive font ("Rec Mono Duotone" variant) supports this. Common paid fonts that support this are Monalisa, Cartograph CF, and Operator Mono

Hello I don't your name but if you answer I'd be so glad. There is a confusion between upper case "i" and lower case "l" in sans serif fonts that's why I researched fonts but there aren't so many fonts which don't have this confusion so I mean why they don't make fonts with a distinctive "l" charachter?

M, W or Z / y or stethoscope? #SmashingConfFreiburg ;)
