Comment on Introducing Operator: H&Co.'s first monospace typeface

Comments

To me it looks like a candidate for Comic Sans of monospace fonts. Absolutely awful.

"Absolutely awful" is stronger language than I would use, but yeah, I'm not feeling it. The 'a', 'c', parentheses, and especially the 's' remind me of lettering you'd see at a cheesy Greek restaurant. I didn't hate the cursive as much as the other replies here though, I think it could be a real benefit if your editor was configured correctly.

The first feeling I got was "Papyrus Code". I see potential, and it's certainly better than anything I could do. I like H&Co's fonts but I'm not really feeling this.

Right now, my terminal/code font of choice is Triplicate (http://practicaltypography.com/triplicate.html).

Those lower case a's. ZOMG QUIRKY!

Yep. And make me X it out. :(

It's not even the a's. The random cursive letters would drive me mad.
