Great Coding Fonts

As many of you know there are a lot of great fonts out there. One of the most popular is Operator Mono, which is unluckily very expensive (starting at 200$). I searched for alternatives and found two similar and nice fonts: Victor Mono which is free and Dank Mono. Check them out if!

Operator Mono (starting at 200$) https://www.typography.com/fonts/operator/styles/operatormono

Dank Mono (24$) https://gumroad.com/l/dank-mono

Victor Mono (for free but you should donate) https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/

Any suggestions else? Have a nice day and stay healthy!

That's what I was gonna say. Love the ligatures ;)

@pschubu Pick a font. Stick with it. Don’t worry about what Jeffrey or anyone else is using.

I don’t get people who worry about what font they’re using, as if it’s going to have a dramatic, tangible impact on their work. Pick a font that has initial appeal, and you’ll find you’ll get used to it like a pair of comfortable slippers.

Yeah you're right. But I found Operator Mono to be my prefered font, but it's too expensive for a hobby coder ;-). So I wanted to share my research results with you :-)
