They actually did different widths at the start, very impressive. But that tapered off, the W should be much wider.
And M a bit.
W for WUMBO
Forget the front, what the hell is that kerning man
Pixar lamp. Enough said.
Why is l
not a dot? I assume this is lower case
Guess it’s upper case then.
But upper case i
is not a dot?
looks like it’s uppercase
Uppercase L
Who does a lowercase j with a line?
Me.
There! In the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless. They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness.
So the I is lower case, but not the J?
It could be uppercase. This doesn’t specify the font used.
J is in lower case too, the line on the right of the i is shorter than the others.

Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.
However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.

Sans serif fonts are widely considered easier to read.

You can pry the serifs from my cold dead letters

We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ
Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that
