+# Minecraft Mono
+
+The font for people who like Minecraft a bit _too_ much.
+
+## Features
+
+- Minecraft!
+  - The characters in this font were based around the typeface used in the Minecraft UI, with a select few glyphs updated for better readability and spacing
+- Monospaced!
+  - Each character has been carefully redesigned to work in a monospaced font
+  - Thin characters like "i" and "l" have been reworked with tasteful tails and serifs to look better in a monospaced environment
+- Programming ligatures!
+  - Add some spice to your programming life with all new ligature characters
+  - Arrows now look like arrows and comparison operators are easier to see at a glance
