I said in another thread about mono fonts, that I now have used comicMono so long, I automatically just put it into "Courier" and when I see a real Courier font, I do a double-take.

#22While 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!
I find the Radon font to make the l and i characters look too much like an oblique z character.

#23I've been using this for about four years as my daily font. No regrets.

I don't know if I'm unique or something, but Radon is extremely painful for me to look at and makes everything harder to read. It makes me feel like I'm dyslexic or something. I currently use Fira Code and find that very easy to read and look at.

#25It's different enough from Comic Sans that it doesn't look terrible to me!

Obviously this stuff is personal, so if you like, awesome. For me, my first thought was "what about italics"?
Re: Comic Mono
#27I've been using a comic sans based mono font now since the last time I saw it on HN (about a year ago based on my receipt). I use a paid version called Comic Code [1] I find it very easy to read as well as fun. I had similar feelings about using Monaco in the past. I find it personally makes programming easier on the eyes and enjoyable. I remember reading the font is similar to the letters that are taught in kinderga…
Another Comic Code user here, although I only bought it because I didn't know about these free alternatives which look just as good. It seriously reduces eyestrain and makes me more efficient. First thing I install on any new computer!

My two problems with it were/are: 1. Gratuitous overuse often in inappropriate places (bad news from work, invitation to a funeral, etc.) 2. The fact that it was optimised in its hinting for low resolution screens common around the time of its creation (and its initial target, via MS Bob) making it not optimal for higher resolutions (in print, or on more modern higher resolution screens with or without sub-pixel rend…

You're begging the question. Why is it inappropriate?

I really like his Codelia font; but I just can't justify spending that much on a font when there's so many free alternatives. Wish the was a cheaper non-commercial license.
Re: Comic Mono
#30If 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. [1] https://tosche.net/fonts/codelia
This font looks so nice, but so expensive! Wish there was a cheaper personal use option.
