I switched1 my main programming font last week from Fira Code 2 to Dank Mono.
After a couple of days, I have to say I am enjoying it.
- The italic crossed with script (cursive) is a nice visual change.
- Supports ligatures which is now a must have for me.
- There are two types of developers. Those who love change and those who hate change. Neither are right or wrong, but I am in the love change camp. The small visual update makes everything feel more fresh.
The recommended font-size with it is 14. I had been running Fira Code (which I still love) at 24px. For Dank I switched to 20px and bumped the font-weight up to 500 in Visual Studio Code.

I bought Dank Mono a couple of months ago and I really like that font.
I would really love to see a bold version.
It looks like you changed from Dank Mono to JetBrains Mono... Does it worth to buy Dank Mono?
Letβs say Iβm on Mac and switches to windows, do I have to buy it again?
Nope, you'll be able to get another download link from the Dank Mono website on your new computer!
