Wow, this is weirdly lovely. I don't think I would code with it (probably!) but it would look great for sort of blackboard-ish code samples in teaching materials.

If you want this style but balanced slightly more utility, I love Codelia [1]. It's my main coding font. It is, however, a paid font.

I get Panic! Studios vibes from this font.

I have used Comic Mono as my coding font for the past 2 years and unironically love it. I installed it as a joke so I could take some screenshots and get funny reactions out of my friends, but found myself genuinely enjoying the readability. These days I frequently forget it's even installed except when someone new joins the team and sees my IDE setup for the first time:

"What font is that??"

"Oh, haha, yeah... It's Comic Sans, but monospaced!"

"Uh huh. Okie dokie then."

While we're in this thread suggesting comic-style monospaced fonts, I can recommend Monaspace Radon:

https://monaspace.githubnext.com/ (go down to variants, it's 4th)

It actually works!

I actually really like Comic Sans and that style of font. Don't understand the haters!

Me too! I did it so I wouldn't take the codebase I'm working on so seriously :)

There is also Comic Code by the same author: https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code. Feels like a more polished version of Comic Mono (but it is paid, too).
