Me: Seriously, does anybody still use this Chat format? The font is so ugly.

Ghost in my room: The font looks like the one they use on drama scripts, so it’s fine.

Me: But the thinness of the letters unbolded and the lack of spacing between each speaker make this format difficult to read, especially when the text is long.

Me: Before the NPF post editor was a thing, the Chat format served a purpose. It used to be that theme editors can easily format the Chat post to look like actual chat messages on their themes

Examples:

Dusk and Sempiternal by @ cactusthemes

Space Race by @ laurenashpole

Discord by @ starlightthemes

Me: Now, with custom Tumblr themes and the username.tumblr.com view being sidelined as a way to push users to the Tumblr mobile app and shove ads in their faces, theme-makers are less motivated to give the Chat format any fancy styling. That, or maybe it’s just not possible to make it fancy because of how NPF works. Idk, I don’t code.

Ghost: I see your point, but I think the Chat format is still handy for short text

Ghost: Like this

Ghost: or this

Ghost: People don’t really use it for long text

Me: True

Me: I still hate the Courier font, though

Me: It looks fine on print but not really on a screen

Me: May I propose a different monospace font?

Me: Like the lovely Roboto Mono or perhaps Source Code Pro?
