In this article, I will be introducing you to 20 of the amazing and best Coding fonts out there, some of which you might have/haven’t hear.
As Developers, We spend a lot of time with our computers writing codes and there are certain factors that affect our productivity.
Most developers prefer dark mode (I suppose you do too). Fonts can also be an issue, to avoid bugs or perhaps limit bugs it is important to use clean and clear fonts that allow you to see your codes better.
So, let’s get started with the list
1. Fira Code
FIRA Code is free, comes with a lot of amazing ligatures, It is easily incorporated into Visual Studio code and a lot of developers seem to love it.
2. Source Code Pro
Source Code Pro is free, it is designed for UI environments. Developers are really “crazy” about it. A Developer even tattooed it on his arm.
3. Victor Mono
Victor Mono is free and comes with semi-connected cursive italics. It’s an amazing font, try to donate to them if you like it.
4. Inconsolota
Inconsolata, also free, comes with ligatures for a great coding experience, it is an open-source alternative for Consolas.
5. Monaco
