Input Mono Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Show HN: Monolisa v3 – a typeface for developers and creatives

  Similar to Input Mono font, which is superior to Monolisa in pretty much any way I can think of, plus free. https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• GitHub Monaspace Case Study

  I do like these fonts, but DJR had this idea with the (excellent) Input family of fonts years ago: https://input.djr.com/ Unfortunately until editors start supporting this (and I’m not sure what would motivate them to), these remain great ideas. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• CodingFont: A game to help you pick a coding font

  I can sympathize; I shudder to think of how many total hours of my life I've spent tweaking fonts in my text editors. That said, these days I almost exclusively use Input Mono [0], specifically the "Narrow" variety. With an occasional sprinkling of either Iosevka Fixed or PragmataPro Mono. 0: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Myna: Monospace typeface designed for symbol-heavy programming languages

  Personally, I've switched to proportional fonts for my coding because I'm not coding on an 80 column terminal any more. :) Input Sans is great: https://input.djr.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Font Comparison: Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono vs. JetBrains Mono and Fira Code

  Why don't we embrace proportional (i.e. Not monospace) fonts more for coding? IMHO, they are a big step up when it comes to legibility. I personally switched after I noticed reading stuff in the sidebar (which is usually in a proportional font) felt more comfortable than reading code. You can't use it for a terminal of course, and occasionally I find comments relying on monospace alignment. Other than that I see... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'

  DejaVu is one of my favorites, and it is odd to not see it included. Input Mono [1] by David Jonathan Ross is what I use these days. It's very similar to DejaVu, but I like it better because its geometry is a little rounder. DejaVu's "m" is very narrow, and it has fewer serifs (l, i, etc.), but it also has a serif version for those who want that (it's still very "sans"). It comes in many weights and has a... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Monaspace

  Seems like in modern times, on modern systems, we can move beyond monospaced fonts for code. I have recommended this many times here, but I use a proportional coding font: Input Sans https://input.djr.com. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• B612 Font Family

  Yes I ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. I'll say it was fun to try it and I used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. Im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where I can make it as wide or as narrow as I like it to be and also customize the various characters [0]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Bad Apple Font

  Does your browser have a "Reader" mode? There are font systems that target code and aren't monospace. An example is Input: https://input.djr.com/ - https://input.djr.com/preview/ The niche seems to be people who like to code without monospace, or who present code without monospace, e.g. In slides or in blog posts. Or if you want typographical consistency between non-code and code, as I understand you are suggesting. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• FiraCode: Free monospaced font with programming ligatures

  I’ve used Ligaturizer [2] to update the font to include ligatures. I believe the ligatures are even taken from FiraCode itself. I wonder how it’s fitting it to the width of a character as it’s much narrower, but still monospaced. - [1] https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• FiraCode: Free monospaced font with programming ligatures

  Hi! I’ve returned once more to recommend the Input family of typefaces. https://input.djr.com/ I’ve been code using Input Sans a (gasp!) proportional coding font for years now and I love it. Input also comes in a monospaced version FWIW. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

  I literally just switched to Input Mono on my Macbook, and I'm loving it: https://input.djr.com/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Intel One Mono, a new monospaced font from Intel... now in the AUR!

  Weird, I'm not sure. I linked to the customization page directly, maybe that caused some strange issue? If you go to https://input.djr.com directly and click "preview" you should end up where I intended to send folks. Source: over 3 years ago

• Intel One Mono, a new monospaced font from Intel... now in the AUR!

  This isn't bad looking (those curly braces, though), but I still prefer input because it's so customizable and therefore easy on as many eyes as possible. Source: over 3 years ago

  Input Mono1, Iosevka2, my custom fork of Iosevka that makes it look like Input Mono but with more glyphs3 ;-). Source: over 3 years ago

• Mona Sans and Hubot Sans

  Input Mono [1] is beautiful, and kinda looks like Berkeley Mono. It too is paid for commercial use, but it's free for personal. I used Input for a very long time until I made my own blend of Iosevka [2] that looks very similar—just with more exotic symbols.

• HP Dev One - Guest Review by ChimeraOS Developer

  If you manage Linux Gaming Central, please, consider switching the typeface to something proportional, maybe DejaVu Sans, PT Sans, Open Sans, or, if you want to have a programming or terminal look, Input Sans Narrow (if you are willing to pay for it) or Recursive. Source: almost 4 years ago

• anyone knows the name of this font?

  As an aside, while there's tons of code-oriented fonts these days, I recommend Input, which makes a pretty good case for the use of proportional fonts in coding. Source: almost 4 years ago
