## What it is
A website for test-driving programming fonts online, aggregating a definitive list of monospaced fonts for code in one interactive place. It is a passion project with no monetization, built as a static site with font metadata in fonts.json and woff2 font files.

## Use cases
- compare monospace coding fonts side by side
- find a new font for my code editor
- preview programming fonts before downloading
- test drive fonts with different code samples and themes
- browse a curated list of monospaced fonts with credits

## When to choose
- you want to visually compare many coding fonts in one place
- you need inspiration for a new editor font
- you want font metadata and proper licensing credits

## When to avoid
- you need a font download portal or package manager
- you need programmatically accessible font APIs
- you need non-monospace or display fonts

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: monospace-fonts, typography, font-preview, coding-fonts, static-site, web-server
