Title: "a typeface for developers"

> and now we're happy to expand the typeface with a new family called MonoLisa Text. The reasoning was to cover other use cases beyond coding with this proportional font.

Dumb question, when should a developer not use a monospaced font? I.e. when should they use MonaLisa Text

I'm sure I'm missing the obvious, but it is purely for LLM output use cases as the website implies (in which case why isn't Claude approach of using a serif font a better strategy).

Please don't take my comments are negative. Just genuinely curious, which is why I'm asking.

When I get back to work, I’ll try it out on my markdown editor.
