Dank Mono

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.

  1. The italic crossed with script (cursive) is a nice visual change.
  2. Supports ligatures which is now a must have for me.
  3. 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.


  1. Check out if you want to see if I stick with Dank Mono ↩

I bought Dank Mono a couple of months ago and I really like that font.

I would really love to see a bold version.

Let’s say I’m 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!

It looks like you changed from Dank Mono to JetBrains Mono... Does it worth to buy Dank Mono?
