A typeface designed for coding aesthetes with modern displays in mind. Delightful ligatures and an italic variant and bold style.

I'd love to try it to see if it makes a difference in coding happiness. Never thought about changing the font, still using the default font in Sublime Text 3. I've only changed the theme and syntax highlighting.

It looks really good if you're a fan of certain things about your fonts. Also italic version is something some people will definitely enjoy.

But nothing beats Menlo in my book 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pros:

Nice aesthetics if you're a fan of Fira, italic version

Cons:

Costs more than "Borda" design font.

While I understand that it's okay to get paid for your hard work, with all the opensource alternatives I find it too bad to ask for money when it's clearly not made for businesses. Welp, good work anyway.

Pros:

It's a monospace font that looks good

Cons:

It's not free

I wasn't sure, if it's reasonable enough to give $40 for a font (for EU citizens it's actually £40, even more). Yet, I decided to give it a go and support Phil's brave idea. I use mainly PHP and the font doesn't come that fancy for it, but front-end languages got a serious improvement. Generally speaking, it's the best font I've experienced on a Retina Mac. Great job! 👍

I love this font. It’s really jazzed up my terminal and IDE. I find it makes my code easier to scan and more enjoyable to read

Pros:

Great ligatures, fun italics, great arrow/comparison letterforms

Cons:

It costs money

I am no master typesetter, just a dude with a love for typography, and I'd like to offer my two cents— First impression is somewhat mixed, some characters are almost perfect, while most glyphs ooze with an amateurish feel. But as you said, you're a developer who made this typeface, so hats off to you! Next, the ultra-minute features are better off in a display typeface rather than a monospace coding font. They are way too small to make a difference, and I don't agree with the "contribute to the overall feel of the font." statement you made. The 'f' is brilliant. That is a feature that really gets noticed. But it stops there. The stroke contrast is glaringly inconsistent across glyphs, even more so in the Italic version. Some of those finials could use some rework. The italics is a bit of an overkill, in my opinion. I really hate Operator Mono, it lacks the subtle elegance of many of the costlier monospace typefaces, and sadly, this too falls in that bucket. Dank Mono is one of those products that will polarise users— they either love it or hate it. Personally, I think the normal version is brilliant for a first attempt, and I hate the italic variant. That said, I'd love to see a v2, there's a lot of potential here. And oh, its way too expensive at $40, without an trial, that too.

we as developers look at the screen all the time so colors and fonts are important thing to us so, i dedicate time to customize my editor to look comfort to me, but i will not spend 40$ to get just a font and there's an alternative open-source and free. it just doesn't make sense.

Pros:

it actually looks cool

Cons:

why i would pay 40$ to get it.
