-# What it is
-A classy font.
+# Comic Mono
+A legible monospace font... the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood. This font is a fork of [Shannon Miwa](https://github.com/shannpersand)’s [Comic Shanns](https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns).
 
-## Usage
-You can download it and install it like any other font.

-## What does it look like?
-Like if someone made a dumbass version of Comic Sans that is monospaced.

+## Differences from Comic Shanns
+1. All glyphs have been adjusted to have exactly the same width (using code based on [monospacifier](https://github.com/cpitclaudel/monospacifier)).
+2. The glyph metrics have been adjusted to make it display better alongside system font, based on [Cousine](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Cousine)’s metrics.
+3. The name is changed to `Comic Mono`.
+4. A bold version of the font is generated using [FontForge’s Embolden](https://fontforge.github.io/Styles.html#Embolden) operation.

+I have no font creation skills; I’m just a software developer. This font family is created by patching the original font, [Comic Shanns](https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns), using a Python script, [`generate.py`](generate.py).
