Typography is a core dimension of a design's "voice", and so people who care about that tend to care a lot about typography
So it matters only to designers’ tastes. Reminds physiognomy, when ears and nose can tell you a life story. People mostly don’t care about your voice notes or ear tips, unless it is the whole point of your performance or they are retarded.
Change your coding/console font to Ariel for a week
Variable width jokes aside, let’s compare our coding fonts and try to explain why one of that many should be considered the “main” one.
- adrian_b 4y agoI believe that the point of the suggestion of replacing a console or programming font with Arial or Helvetica, in order to become aware of their unsuitability for such a task, was not that they are variable-width typefaces, but that they belong to the group of sans-serif fonts that have exaggerated with the simplification of the characters, so that they have many different characters that cannot be distinguished, creating ambiguities that are intolerable in programming or in console windows.
- dmichulke 4y agoInteresting point. I checked, my emacs is using Sans Mono but despite its name it has serifs.
