Debug™

What is the Debug™ font?

As as a computer programmer, it is my job to stare at screens of text all day.
As soon as I learned the mechanics of font design, I boldly set out to design a typeface from my own handwriting that I could use to make my life easier. First, it had to have very distinctive numerals (trust me, it can be easy to mistake an 8 for a 3 in code), it had to have huge punctuation characters (even Perl code like ‘[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0’ looks good in Debug), and it had to be a bit friendlier than Courier (so that I don’t give up hope when my code won’t compile). I had so much fun designing it that I decided to give it strange lower-case ‘i’s and ‘m’s as a bonus. More…
I also spent far too much time hinting it so that it would look as nice as possible at low resolutions.
