Wow. It look really, really nice. And the "irregular" handwriting effect is just subtle enough that it adds just a bit of nice "texture". A friendly-looking monospaced font is not something I ever expected to see! The spacing and balance is perfect.

It looks great, I'm tremendously impressed, and could easily see this become a standard font for showing code excerpts in blogs etc., especially.

Plus, pretty hilarious name. :)



Texture, you say? Try this on for size: http://www.comicbookfonts.com/Code-Monkey-Constant-p/cl343.h...

It's not free, but both a) reasonably priced and b) dirt cheap during their annual sale (that Andy Ihnatko has written about at length).

It's not for everyone, but it's a "Comic Sans Mono" (if you will) that's actually not aesthetically displeasing. I use it occasionally for code, just for fun.


I think the little cool details that make it stand out work really well for short code samples, but I am a little worried they might catch your eye too much and end up being counterproductive if you look at them all day while coding.


Indeed, I'm going to give this one a spin for a bit.
