The readability is much better compared to other fonts, apparently it's also great for people with dyslexia. Personally I'm happy to trade readability for density with Iosevka

I use it to and yeah, I find the readability really good. It's not something I notice consciously, but my theory is the little imperfections in the loops and such make the text easier to scan. The loop in say an 'o' has a slightly different shape than the loop in a 'p'.

Sure, but how does Comic Code compare to the free Comic Mono? Comic Mono is pretty readable.

They are close but when I look at them side by side I give the edge to Comic Code. With Comic Mono I think the lines are a little too thick. Other things I notice, : is too small and <> are too big. YMMV of course

Also, while the complete set of Comic Code is $100, there's a "coding essentials" pack for $30
