> A legible monospace font… the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood
I'm guessing very very few kids today have or will see Comic Sans. 98/XP golden years, clippy/wizard/dog, minesweeper, space cadet pinball, winamp, classic MS paint
I dunno, it's still pretty popular in primary school work sheets & notices. They're probably less likely to use it themselves but their teachers are quite likely to use it and show it to them.
You're right. Didn't consider that.
I started using it as a bit of a joke but I actually really liked it - visually distinct, easy to read and works well at small and larger sizes.
