A legible monospace font… the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood

So, I’m reading the side of my oatmilk carton, and all of as sudden they’re talking about catmilk, and that’s a really completely different thing; and then I realize it’s just the Times New Roman font fucking with me.
