Default Open-source typeface “Hack” brings design to source code

From http://arstechnica.com/information-t...o-source-code/ :

Quote:
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. "Combine it with an HD monitor and you can comfortably work at 6 or 7px sizes."

I believe those days ended at least 15 years ago, if not earlier.
