Why Monospace Fonts Are Superior

In a world of variable width chaos, monospace fonts bring order. Every character occupies the same amount of horizontal space. It is fair. It is predictable. It is beautiful.

The Problem with Sans-Serif

When you look at a standard sans-serif font, can you easily distinguish between a capital 'I' and a lowercase 'l'? In many fonts, you cannot. This is a failure of design.

The Code Editor Aesthetic

We spend our lives in code editors. The grid-like structure of monospace text allows for:

• Vertical alignment
• ASCII art mastery
• Predictable line lengths

Conclusion

Reject modernity. Embrace the grid.
