    Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.

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

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.

      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 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.

    I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.

    Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?

      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/

    Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren’t that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.
