I have not cared about fonts for years.

Then I made a toy font in pico8 just to see how small I could get it.

It eventually evolved into a 3x4 font[1] named crt34.

When playing with Shiki for the docs website, I found Fira Code.

Now I'm using Fira Code in all my code samples and in VS Code.

I'm surprised by how very quickly I got used to Fira Code.

In under a day I was at a point where I forgot I had it enabled.

And I really do love how it renders => and -> and !== and === etc.

(I eventually had to add uppercase, which ended up being 3x5 but whatever)
