What's up with the whitespaces in the second font. How can you tell what is even a whitespace there.

Uppercase letters have left padding, which is 1/3 of a whitespace char. I got used to it within a few minutes.

That padding is for helping with camelCase, but another opinion is that snake_case is better than camel. Better yet, some languages allow them in identifiers.
