Fonts are a huge part of daily life in this world that is always online. I stare at text all day nearly every day, whether it's reading and writing code, or reading and writing documentation, or reading and writing for the web or social media. Having the right fonts is imperative.

I've used many different fonts over the years, and I frequently change them until I find some that are pleasing to use and don't cause undue micro-stresses in my workflow.

Web Fonts

One web font I recently discovered which I find to be extremely pleasing to the eye and easy to read is called Atkinson Hyperlegible. I've started using it for the main body content of this blog, and I think it's lovely. I've also started using it as the main font in Obsidian where I take all my daily notes.

Coding Fonts

My current favorite coding font is VictorMono Nerd Font. It stands out for several reasons

• Slightly condensed. I like this because I generally keep my terminal windows fairly narrow.
• Clear and readable
• It has all the ligatures that make code look really slick
• No confusion over similar looking letters and numbers
• Cursive italics, which I love for code comments. It makes them very distinct from the other text.
