I do use them for writing and coding.
- raydiatian 4y agoDon’t misread what I am saying: I am not judging you for finding something that works for you, or attacking you for sharing. I’m bummed out to see an article about “a perfect font”, especially being a monospaced one (or nearly), but that does not use said font throughout. I was sort of hoping to be immersed in this font for awhile, but wasn’t. I use fira+ligatures. I am a monospacer too.
- DavidAdams 4y agoI think the point of the article is that monospaced fonts, or near-monospaced, are good for production (writing), though arguably proportional fonts are better for consumption (reading).
- blakewatson 4y agoYeah this is my anecdotal take. Haven’t looked at studies on this, if they exist, but in my experience, reading monospaced fonts for several paragraphs is tiring.
- raydiatian 4y agoI must be misunderstanding your meaning, what forms of writing don’t also require reading in the form of rereading?
