    This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked

    Hyperlegible Mono

    I tried using the Hyperlegible family systemwide but found the 0 glyph too distracting outside of terminal/code cases. As a terminal font, it’s perfection.

      I read a heap of peer review articles on thst. They seemed to suggest a form without all the P when ads (sans?) Is just as good. Along woth mono space and larger font size.

      Helvetica or Ariel are just as good. In use Adobe Ember or whatever its called.

      YMMV

    I once did comic sans for a while because I am not highly typographically sensitive and wanted to mess about, but I usually like a mono serif typeface for the terminal, most recently Noto.

      This is the best font IMO. I used to use source code pro, but I switched to Plex a few years ago and it’s all I want to use now.

        Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.

    I’m a JetBrains Mono fan. And whatever font I use has GOTTA have ligatures. I love ligatures.

      Yeah when I went down a terminal config rabbit hole I landed on JetBrains Mono with all the nerd font symbols. Can’t really provide a particular reason I like it over many other fonts, but I just do.

    I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I’m also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.

    For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.

      Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.

      I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I’m supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there’s no point in using something that condensed.

      Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

        Well, there’s Fira Sans, but I don’t know if it’s what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I’ve used it as a GUI typography for some time.

      Fira Code is my answer as well! I’ll use others for some variety, but it’s the favorite I always go back to.

        What makes it stupid? At least it’s relevant instead of random nonsense names like “noto” “callenda” “amiri” etc (apologies if all these names have rich etymologies)

      Yes, it’s fun and my brain can convince itself that it’s productive too. How can I work if I don’t have the perfect programming font?

      Along the same lines as your link - I really enjoyed playing out this font tournament, and found a few new ones I like - https://www.codingfont.com/
