    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.

      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.

    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 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?

    I think I’m using Iosevka in the terminal at the moment, although it’s maybe a bit too narrow for my tastes. For GUI I use San Francisco Pro (Apple font)

    Edit: now trying Plex Mono in the terminal and I like it. It feels more like a “normal” font.

    I’ve recently fallen in love the Liberation fonts. For some reason I would always scroll past them in font lists and I don’t know why. I guess I just saw Liberation Serif as a Times New Roman knockoff and dismissed them all because of that, when they’re so much more.

    I’ve applied them across the board (including websites) and wow… I was straining my eyes for so long thinking my vision was going, when it turns out it was just bad hinting and kerning all along.
