Dank Mono vs Source Code Pro

Source Code Pro trades Dank Mono's flourish for dependability. At 75% similarity it drops the cursive italic and ligatures entirely, but its disciplined glyph design and wide weight range make it the pick when readability over a full workday matters more than character.
