Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the "legible at small sizes" claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm

Look what you have done! I used Operator Mono for Italics. I kind of like this!

It's not even monospace

Me too man! Been using it for over a year now, coming from Fira Code. It's actually a real enjoyable font to look at.

At least you’re using a monospaced one…

I was prepared to hate this, but I actually really like it. Thanks for posting it!

I was addicted to coding with Comic Mono and ended up purchasing Comic Code. No regrets.

[–] madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

My eyes just can't adjust to this.

It's actually very common font for dyslexia
