> We spend a lot of time interacting with type. They influence our thinking, alter trust, determine context, and play with our productivity. 

In these weird times where our screen times skyrocket. We should do something to ease our contextual burden and increase our productivity. 

This is a list of awesome fonts that will make your code look even more elegant and concise (and makes your more productive 🤞). 

> Note: This is a personal favourite list (and almost all of them are mono). Please feel free to comment your favourite.

# Jetbrains Mono

This one is from the Jetbrains. They already have cool abstract images in their IDE startups. The font is bit oversized but once again it is awesome. 

Type: Mono | [GitHub](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono)

# Monoid 

It is sharp, bit taller. But the font looks great even in low resolution displays. 

Type: Mono | [GitHub](https://larsenwork.com/monoid/)

# Cascadia Code 

Windows was the first machine that I ever had. And I used it for a long time at my work (now don't judge me). So this one was my long time favourite. Recently I saw they have open sourced it and it brings back a lot of memories. 

Type: Mono | [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code)

# Dank (Paid)

This one is pretty cool. But it is paid. I haven't used it personally, but used this in some of my slides (via carbon.now.sh)
