Ubuntu Mono is also similar. I personally prefer JetBrains Mono, as it is the only monospace font I've found so far that looks great across HiDPI (i.e. Retina) and non-HiDPI screens without appearing too bold or too thin and without having to bump up the size to 40pt to distinguish the glyphs.

[@raidenvanbronkhorst5749]

Awesome video! I just wanted to point something out since a lot of people in the comments are saying something along the lines of "Why would you pay money for a font," when typefaces really take a ton of work by the designer to be read well, give certain feelings, and suit a certain medium well (type is often designed for specific mediums like books or display). Every typeface has a designer behind it, and I feel those designers and their work are often taken for granted. There is nothing wrong with supporting type designers that do really great work!

Say what you want about Comic Sans and it's derivatives, but it's done a lot of good for many people and I appreciate it for that. I think I might have to check out Comic Code now, so thanks for shining a light on Omagari's work, I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise :)

The odd shape of the characters makes the text look like a blob of pixels in a sea of darkness. Good for short texts, not for structured code. I like my Liberation Sans Mono font. A little hard on the eyes, perhaps a little old fashioned looking, but it makes my code look like code.

[@morgan0]

on the topic of fonts feeling more alive and organic, i really like the casual version of recursive mono. i currently use the duotone set, which is casual on all but regular (tho i modded the theme to not have non-italic bold). it's a sign painting glyph style i think it's called

[@dealloc]

MonoLisa does look great (although I've never been a huge fan of the cursive glyphs in italicized text), but for $200 (or even $50 for the Personal license) it is quite a steep price for many. Though, I can totally get it's worth for some to invest in something you're going to have to look at for hours end every day, especially if it's part of your job-and even better if you get it as a gift. It's also really hard to find good open source monospace fonts that looks great across all kinds of monitors and devices. The only open source font that I've found so far that suits all my needs is JetBrains Mono which has the right weight balance across HiDPI as well as non-HiDPI screens without needing to dig into sub-pixel aliasing settings, letter spacing and font sizes.

[@krystofkratky3424]

okay. I bought the font on a lark. I wasn't really expecting anything to be different about my programming experience, but this does indeed feel more... chill? I have mild issues with character recognition, I am not sure it is dyslexia as I was never tested for this, but I do often jumble numbers around in my head, and the way I read, write and even think is not linear. This font does appear to be helping with that. I feel as though I am better able to get into a flow state with this font. It is hard to describe, but I think it is well worth the $30 for devs to try it out -- even if they do not struggle with character recognition. Many thanks to Toshi Omagari for doing this work.

[@dalekman8945]

Good video man! Just a note - wouldve preferred if you went a bit more in depth into how this font is better for *programming*. Like maybe compare the same source code across Comic Code vs another popular font and point out where CC shines to display the information more cleanly? Just a thought 🙏

[@snowman4933]

I guess I get how. I use monospace that is default to terminator, but when I saw those fonts in the terminal of the video, it felt like cozy. Monospace feels like it's robotic, fira code feels like they are trying to be cozy while still maintaining monospace style, where CC felt like (even tho I haven't used, but from what I've seen) it seems like I'm reading doujinshi/manga/eromanhwa, what I love to do. Everytime I open up my terminal and start writing in terminal, I feel like it's so monotonic. So IG that's why?

The thing about irregular fonts in particular being more readable for dyslexic people is a widely propagated myth. There's research specifically showing OpenDyslexic isn't any easier to read for people with dyslexia than Arial. While certain fonts are more readable, there's nothing that makes a font more readable specifically for people with dyslexia. What makes fonts more readable for those who have dyslexia are exact same things that make it more readable for everyone else. And one thing is way more important for readability than the actual shape of the letters, and that is font size. If you want text to be readable, changing the font helps very little, while making it bigger makes all the difference. In other words, if you want readable text, just make it big.

[@gustafswan]

You are completely correct. Whats even more interesting is that the studies cited by OpenDyslexic that are intended to look like they are supporting the font actually are counter to them. They provide no benefit at all. "Heavier line thickness at the bottom of most characters intended to better anchor letters" is pseudo-science bullshit.
