Please see [the typeface's site](https://vaughantype.com/wumpus-mono-pro) for more information.)_\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n## ¶ Programming with Wumpus Mono\n\nMany of the decisions that were made in the process of designing this font were made in consideration of how it might look when writing Perl programs, since that is often what takes up the majority of my screen's real-estate.\n\n![Wumpus Mono Sample](images/WumpusMono_Sample.png)\n\nNegative space is used to give extra personality to the `i`, `J`, and `j`:\n\n![Wumpus Mono Negative Space](images/WumpusMono_Negative_Space.png)\n\n## ¶ What's in a name?\n\nWumpus Mono is named after my friend [wumpus](https://github.com/wumpus) (the radio astronomer, not Discord's mascot.)  The name comes from [Hunt the Wumpus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus) - a classic text-based adventure game you can play in your terminal.  It is a source of much inspiration.  If you haven't played it yet, you can do so on [Telehack](https://telehack.com).\n\n![Wumpus Mono Asterisk](images/Asteroid.gif)\n\nWhen asked how many lobes the asterisk should have:\n```\nwumpus: The number of sidelobes should be similar to astronomy\nwumpus: JWST has 6\n```\n\n...indeed, the [James Webb Space Telescope](https://webb.nasa.gov/)'s primary mirror panels are hexagons.\n\nAsterisk anatomy has been discussed in brilliant detail by Jonathan Hoefler in his blog post [“House of Flying Reference Marks”](https://www.typography.com/blog/house-of-flying-reference-marks).\n\n## ¶ Ligatures\n\nWumpus Mono includes the following programming ligatures:\n\n![Wumpus Mono Ligatures](images/WumpusMono_Ligatures.png)\n\n... and the following common ligatures:\n\n![Wumpus Mono Common Ligatures](images/WumpusMono_Common_Ligatures.png)\n\n## ¶ License\n\nThe fonts in this repository are free for personal evaluation purposes.\n\nWumpus Mono Pro licenses are available for purchase from [vaughantype.com](https://vaughantype.com) and are licensed under the [Standard Vaughan Type End User Font License Version 1.0](https://vaughantype.com/standard-eula/).\n\nPlease [contact the author](mailto:fonts@vaughantype.com) for custom licensing if necessary.\n\n\u003csmall\u003eCopyright \u0026copy; 2023 T.
