"Looks like serif"? Did you mean to say it looks like a proportional-width font?

- tomjen3 14y agoYeah I don't think there is anything which prevents a font from being both monospaced and serif (indeed it must be either san-serif or serif, right?)
- pygy_ 14y ago> it must be either san-serif or serif, right? Not necessarily. This font is a monospaced hybrid of slab serif (fat serifs, regular line width) and sans serif. See here for details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif
- illicium 14y agoTo be fair, most monospaced typefaces are at least to some degree slab serifs to visually compensate for the extra horizontal space (eg. letters like "l" and "i")
