<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>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's what it looks like viewing one of
|
|

|
|
alt="Serious Sans in VS Code"
|
|
title="Serious Sans in VS Code"
|
|
style="max-width: 100%"
|
|
/>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Why?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To help 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>
|
|
<img
|
|
src="./fancyDinner.png"
|
|
alt="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
|
title="Adding up a fancy dinner bill"
|
|
style="max-width: 100%"
|
|
/>
|
|
</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>
|
|
<br />
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>• I edited the 'a' to make it look less like an 'o'</li>
|
|
<br />
|
|
<li>
|
|
• I remade the Bold weight style and added a Light weight style as
|
|
well
|
|
</li>
|
|
<br />
|
|
<li>• I added Italic styles for each weight style</li>
|
|
<br />
|
|
<li>• I added OpenType format versions</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<br />
|
|
<h2>Any issues?</h2>
|
|
<p>If you notice any, please feel free to open an issue!</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Light weight version could use a little refining still (the height
|
|
and x-height seem to be off for some glyphs). I improved the x-height
|
|
for the Light Italic style (where it was especially noticable) but I
|
|
have not yet improved Light Original
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are some horizontal alignment issues with t/T's and f's in the
|
|
Italic styles
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that so far I have only been using the original
|
|
SeriousSans.tff. The other styles have been reviewed but are largely
|
|
untested
