I moved on from these fonts quite some time ago and just use https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka everywhere.

It's ideal for 'wordy' languages such as C++ where a typical line length can often go over 150 characters, and then you don't have to scroll sideways.



Adding to the list of 'this is what I am using', I have switched both terminal and code editor to Maple Mono[1]. Which, looking at TFA, seems to be somewhat similar in spirit as Atkinson Hyperlegible, although I haven't used that.

Maple has many ligatures, I personally like the hypervisible [TODO]. Overall I find it very legible, even on small sizes, and pleasing also for writing e.g. in Markdown.

Those are some sexy glyphs (gaps in curly punctuation).

The ligatures for keywords is clever. I appreciate those niceties. Like rendering small gaps in large numbers, eg '1000000' looks like '1 000 000'.

IIRC Berkeley or Monospaced have a few neat tricks like that.


I don’t like glyphs, but that normie mode looks excellent. I don’t know how I missed maple when doing my font search recently. Thanks for the link.


Iosevka is the most terminaly of the modern vector programming fonts, outside of perhaps Terminus. I set my Emacs to use it, as I haven't been able to find a font that comes anywhere near as comfortable.
