The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

I'm all about MonoLisa, but I'll give this a look

Would this work in vs code only?

One superfamily.

Five fonts.

And my three variable axes.

Looks really good, but I'll stick with my favourite M+ Code, which I use in iTerm2, Emacs, and VSCode.

Also in https://www.nerdfonts.com/

Edited to add: they have semiwide and wide, but no condensed? Weird. That contextual resizing is pretty cool though!

I do not like the “C” in that font.

Great, now whenever I want to talk to someone about Mona Font, they're going to get confused.

Iosevka for life, baby.

I can't shake this feeling that these are lacking something, like I remember looking at Fira for the first time and being like wow, even jetbrains mono had a sort of generic charm. These on the other hand, are just meh.

Maybe they are someone's cup of tea though. I am sure in 6 months I will be hearing about how GitHub invented the developer font of some rubbish like that.

This is pretty cool. But I'll stick with Anonymous pro.
