Show HN: Monolisa v3 – a typeface for developers and creatives
www.monolisa.devOriginally we (Andrey, Marcus, Juho) built MonoLisa in 2020 as we realised there's room for a better monospaced typeface for developers. The key insight was to make the glyphs slightly wider to make more room for design to make letters like m feel less cramped.
Since then we've released a variable v2 (2022) and now we're happy to expand the typeface with a new family called MonoLisa Text. The reasoning was to cover *other* use cases beyond coding with this proportional font.
We hope you give Monolisa a go as there's a free trial to try. We also welcome feedback!
Bought MonoLisa back in 2022, never even considered switching coding typeface since. Before that time I used to switch every 3-6 months.
It's really well balanced easy on the eye.
Created an account, to come tell you folk, just how much I love Monolisa. Have been using it every since they launched, in both my terminal, and my code editors.
It’s lovely!
editing to add: They even have PPP pricing! Which as someone living in India, I highly appreciate, since it puts a lovely piece of art within reach.
I adore MonoLisa, thank you for all the effort that's gone into making it and congratulations on the new release!
I love this font. I think it is probably the only coding font I have ever actually purchased.
Same! It's also one of my favorite UNIX puns (up there with pine).
