Rename the font #10

Mono16 probably isn't the most colloquial/memorable name....any suggestions?

chase commented 9 years ago

Personally, I think it is fine as it is. Here are my thoughts:

It distinguishes itself from others. At least more than say, DeJavu Sans.
It is short to type and doesn't have many conflicting Google search results.
Mono infers that it is monospaced, yet does not belong to larger family of fonts.
The 16, though the ideal font size, works together with Mono to represent a common occurrence in code where symbols and variables cannot begin with a number, but may follow with a number.

larsenwork commented 9 years ago

Yeah...you are probably right. It's just the number in the name...not many other fonts use that although it is a common occurrence in coding.

Could be fun with something like

ifElse

or something similar that is still code related but without mono, code, pro etc. in the name

Oh well, talked with some other guys and they liked ifElse too so went ahead and changed it - updated website here: http://andreaslarsen.github.io/ifElse I know the name is a bit generic but when I told someone I had made a font named ifElse he immediately guessed it was a coding font which is a plus.

Should have been lowercase...http://andreaslarsen.github.io/ifelse
