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!

It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

someone at work was sharing their screen and I think they were using this font

it was pretty jarring to me, but if it helps people read easier that's cool!

At least you’re using a monospaced one…

It's not even monospace

It's actually very common font for dyslexia

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

I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

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

I’m intrigued, but it feels so wrong

I am in the same boat. Installing...Dog help me.

the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood What does this mean? I feel like the one we learned from childhood would be Times New Roman since every teacher I had required that font.

I think they mean all the notices and board that used comic sans.

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.
