The days of coders being shackled to Monaco or Courier New ends now. At SourceFoundry.org this week, programmer Chris Simpkins debuted the 2.0 version of Hack, an open-source typeface designed specifically for use in source code. Hack is characterized by a large x-height, wide aperture, and low contrast design in order to be "highly legible" at common coding text sizes. Its "sweet spot runs in the 8px-12px range on modern desktop and laptop monitors," Simpkins writes on GitHub.
