Radon, the "handwriting" one, seems like if someone wanted to have Comic Sans but for code.
Comic Code is a thing and it's 10/10. It's proof that handwriting style fonts for code is possible.
That's exactly how I thought, I'm not a dev myself but are there really people who might use a font like this to code?
It's a stretch, but the only thing I can think of is that it might be a bit better for dyslexic people because the letters are a bit more diverse, but I don't think it's nearly enough to be considered an actual dyslexia font.
Some might. I using Comic Code and Fantasque Code from time to time as it forces my brain to reinterpret "known" code and helps to find errors that way. It also help with minor dyslexia moments. I like Radon, except I fully hate how "i" character is looking it is a "z" with a dot on it. If there were variant with normal "i" I would consider using it.
I would, just to have something different in my setup for a while. It gets boring when everything looks the same year after year.
