<h2>What?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Serious Sans is a legible monospaced font made to resemble the classic
|
||||||
|
Comic Sans font we all know and love. It is designed to be suitable for
|
||||||
|
use in a professional coding environment while retaining the playfulness
|
||||||
|
of the original
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|

||||||

<h2>Why?</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
To overcome writer's block, some writers change the font of their word
|
||||||
|
processor to Comic Sans. Perhaps the jaunty style helps put our brains in
|
||||||
|
a playful mood so we can just write without getting hung up in
|
||||||
|
self-criticism
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Serious Sans aims to provide that same experience for programmers and
|
||||||
|
their IDE's. As coders, we also enjoy playful styling and tools that help
|
||||||
|
us just get to work. But most of us like to have certain standards that
|
||||||
|
make our work easier. Monospacing and legibility are important factors
|
||||||
|
that facilitate quick scanning of many lines of code
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<h3>Legibility</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Legibility means being able to quickly tell which character is which. In
|
||||||
|
fonts with low legibility, for example, it can be difficult to tell the
|
||||||
|
difference between an upper case 'I' and a numeral '1'
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<h3>Monospacing</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Monospacing means ensuring every character has the same width. This is
|
||||||
|
helpful to quickly line up rows of text. For an example of why this is
|
||||||
|
helpful, consider adding up a fancy dinner bill:
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<a
|
||||||
|
target="_blank"
|
||||||
|
rel="noopener noreferrer"
|
||||||
|
href="https://github.com/kaBeech/serious-sans/blob/main/fancyDinner.png"
|
||||||
|
><img
|
||||||
|
src="https://github.com/kaBeech/serious-sans/raw/main/fancyDinner.png"
|
||||||
|
alt="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
||||||
|
title="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
||||||
|
style="max-width: 100%"
|
||||||
|
/></a>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Without a monospaced font, getting all those numbers to line up for easy
|
||||||
|
adding would be a pain!
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<h3>Origins</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
I originally changed the font in my IDE to Comic Mono as a joke. I decided
|
||||||
|
to leave it that way for a while for fun, and found that it actually seems
|
||||||
|
to help my mindset while working. I made Serious Sans as my own leetle
|
||||||
|
fork to improve the usability of the font ^_^
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Differences from Comic Mono</h2>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>I edited the 'a' to make it look less like an 'o'</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
I remade the Bold weight style and added a Light weight style as well
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>I added Italic styles for each weight style</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Note: you can ignore the generate.py file - it generates the original
|
||||||
|
Comic Mono font. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to modify or remove
|
||||||
|
it
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
