# Myna
|
|
Tired of squinting at uneven symbols in your code? Frustrated when your `->` looks nothing like arrow, or `$`, `@`, `%` seem mismatched?
|
|
|
|
Want to experience the beauty of ligatures without losing the simplicity of ASCII.
|
|
|
|
Want a font which in which you could learn Haskell and enjoy even Perl? We've got just the font for you!
|
|
|
|
Myna is a monospace font which aims to bring harmony to your editor by treating symbols as first-class citizens.
|
|
|
|
Myna is not designed from the scratch but steals some of the most beautiful features some of your favourite fonts to create a lovely experience.
|
|
|
|
## Why Myna?
|
|
Here is why Myna stands apart from other fonts:
|
|
- **Symbol-First Design**: clear emphasis on ASCII symbols which are ubiquitous in programming languages
|
|
- **Near-Perfect Alignment**: multi-character symbols like `->`, `>>=`, `=~`, `::` align seamlessly
|
|
- **Balanced Weight**: symbols have just the right visual weight against your code
|
|
- **Clear Distinction**: no more confusing `1 l I |` or `0 O o`
|
|
- **Language Agnostic**: clean sigils (`$s @a %h &f *x`) for Perl + elegant operators (`:: -> <$> >>=`) for Haskell + clear symbols (`-> ++ -- += << >>`) for C/C++
