Similar Stories to Open-source Typeface “hack” Brings Design To Source Code on Bing News

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.
