Can I request fonts? I use Courier a lot at work, it's definitely my favourite font, but I'm willing to be seduced by other monospaced type fonts...

They're ligatures made for coding and they're great, been using this font since it came out. Wouldn't use it for anything else though.

Don't like to yuck people's yums. To each their own and all that. I gave ligatures a fair shake, but I just don't like them. They break the mono spacing by creating bigger gaps between characters, and I dislike that my cursor can be in the middle of them when I'm supposed to believe it's now one character. I also don't find them easier to parse, which is supposedly their intended benefit

The recent discussion on monospaced fonts sent me into a bit of a rabbit hole. I haven't been doing much coding recently, but I've usually had somewhat more condensed (thinner) typefaces like Inconsolata or Iosevka for my editors, because I thought I liked how you could have a narrower editor window / pane. But looking at the recommendations of Fira Code and JetBrains Mono, I'm starting to think I might want to change my mindset? These more standard-width fonts are certainly easier on the eyes, though I still have a fondness towards being able to squeeze more text into less space. The rabbit hole also led me to programmingfonts.org, which has a vast range of monospaced fonts to preview. Based on those previews, I don't think I'll change my opinions on going any wider, towards the 'squarer' fonts like Courier. My wandering also led me to Recursive, which is an interesting variable font with multiple dimensions including monospace <--> variable width and rational <--> brushstroke shape. It seems a bit unfortunate that it doesn't seem to be so easy to export a standalone that is between the static endpoints, since there are some nice-looking intermediate mixes.

Font Appreciators, do you have recommendations for a good serif typeface that comes in an ultrabold/black weight? I'm looking for one for a project, and I seem to have a gap in my repertoire. Sure, I can search online for it but there's been some nice stuff posted here, and I'd favor your picks over snagging something off dafont.

Does anybody know what font is used for the numerals in the timer in Yoshi's Island, or at least a good approximate?

Yeah that’s definitely not a font that exists. But there are some alternatives on Adobe that might get you something similar: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/duckie https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/hegante https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/funkydori

As a palate cleanser from the bad type, have some good stuff. Needed inspiration lately, and they say you should always steal from the best, which is why I turn to old cassettes, both video & audio, when I need a refresher. This one is Permanent Headline for the condensed typeface, which I quite like. Generally condensed typefaces don't move the needle for me, but sometimes they're necessary, and this one suits nicely I think.  And this one uses Folio for the condensed type, something I have probably seen before but never noted. However the real winner is the SUPERTON branding, which is set in the fabulous typeface Countdown, and I love this one very very much. Finding excuses to use it will be hard, but it's going to be in my collection forever.

hell yeah i hated the practicalities of tapes so much, rewinding and turning it over and rewinding instead of fast forwarding because a kid at school told me it saved battery but i loved the look of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9DfSCk-6Ko&t=71s

this is a pretty fun little game where you move the middle letters to see if you can hit the correct kerning (10 "levels") : https://type.method.ac i mostly got 90+/100  (but tbh its pretty forgiving)theres also a game where you fix up bezier curves on glyphs: https://shape.method.ac

 https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/fleur I'm very into these types of serifs lately. It's definitely the modern trend that signifies "classy but hip" since so many typical "high-class" typefaces just look corny these days. MokBa has a new favorite as of 03:23 on Aug 29, 2023 |

Yeah! I get the appeal. I definitely prioritize typefaces with swashes & stylistic alternates these days. I would love a good digitization of Benguiat Caslon:  There's a lot of versatility & personality you can eke out of a display by switching your characters out. There are two digitizations but you have to pick: Cabernet JF has the full character set but lacks some of the features you'd expect out of modern type, while House Industries' Benguiat Caslon is a well-made font but lacks many of the alternates from the original.

I mean, look, yeah, a cop would use it on his business card, but it would be Robocop. You know, either one of the fictitious sort of cop who is actually really cool because he's in a movie and not real, or a cop who is a great villain. Judge Dredd would use Eurostile.

Monaspace is cool. It's a monospace coding font that fixes the problem where the "i" is too wide and the "m" is too narrow by using something they call "texture healing". I suggest going to the site and toggling it on and off to see the effect, but here's a comparison image.

Eurostile is honestly everywhere lately once you start noticing it. One thing I like about it is that it has condensed and extended versions, and they all manage to go together cohesively if you know what you’re doing.

The typography on Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Age Of” is just amazing: It’s like the 70s came back, but then stylish.
