I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans


Yes, my favorite font for text editing. Not too unprofessional like comics-san but not dull/sterile like most mono fonts. Not sure why, but it has sort of an artistic personality, if I could describe it. Only thing I dislike is the "k" so I use the non-loop version.


Looks similar to Monaco (Mac OS’s default for monospace). The slight irregularities make it more comfortable to read vs more geometrical shapes.


This and Comic Code are my favorites, and Fantasque Sans Mono is free (unlike Comic Code).
