Mine is mononoki

https://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?

    I started using comic sans mono ironically, but have come to realize that it legit is easy to read.

    Fira Code, but I haven’t used anything else with ligatures

    I’ve used IBM Plex Mono for a long time. Currently giving github’s new Monaspace a try.

      IBM Plex Mono is such a fancy, refined font. The line spacing is a bit too high for my liking though 😞

    I like hack. I use it for everything.

      Hack is my go to font as well, I’m sure part of that is due to it being well supported and easy to remember. Plus the lack of spaces in the name makes for less escape characters or quotes when defining it in config files.

      The small but critical feature I look for in a font is a clear differentiation between the characters I, l, and 1.

          I also try o, O, 0, *, {

          t, f, g, a, y, k, w, W to quickly check the styles

        I think my love of the font comes from how comfy everything feels. A lot of nice curves 😉.

    That’s a very nice one! I also enjoy programming ligatures.

    I use Cartograph CF. I like to use the handwriting style for built-in keywords. Those are common enough that I identify them by shape. The loopy handwriting helps me to skim over the keywords to focus on the words that are specific to each piece of code.

    sample Haskell code with a handwriting font variant for the words "let", "in", and "where"

    I wish more monospace fonts would use the “m” style from Ubuntu Mono. The middle leg is shortened which makes the glyph look less crowded.

      Cartograph looks good. Ubuntu mono is also a great font but I guess it doesn’t support ligatures.

    Terminus.

    To be honest, I don’t care. If I dislike a default font somewhere, I change it, but there’s no a favorite one. The font must be readable, that’s all.

      Well buddy you are very brave sharing such, almost rude, simplicity in a monospace font circle jerk.
