he did however decide to use a font which gives off comic sans vibes, which is a very interesting choice for an otherwise very barebones setup :D

openbsd has a funny cultural meme around comic sans. i've seen other writings on it but this might be the origin: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/mgp00025.ht...

some of the openbsd folks use it as a weapon in the fight to prioritize content over presentation. i got a chuckle out of it and it convinced me to stop thoughtlessly hating on comic sans, easy as it is.

> to stop thoughtlessly hating on comic sans

you know what, you're right. i'm setting my terminal to this right now, haha: https://dtinth.github.io/comic-mono-font/

cute!
Its probably the font that helps people with dyslexia.
hmm, not quite OpenDyslexic. looks a little like Comic Mono but maybe a little rounder? the "l" is a lot curvier than most comic-like fonts. almost reminds me of one of the annoying Samsung fonts :)
> almost reminds me of one of the annoying Samsung fonts

you're thinking about 'Samsung Choco Cookie' :) only know this because someone i know has this set on their phone, and looking at their screen really irritates me for some reason.

ah, good point!
