This rarely gets a mention but totally deserves one: Iosevka[0], a programming font with great ligatures, multiple weights, and customizable character variants to tune it to your preferences. It’s more slender than most blocky monotypes which makes it stand apart especially from more traditional choices like Monaco and Consolas.

- 1_player 7y agoI'm 100% in the Iosevka camp, especially the serif version with Iosevka Slab. Looks amazing on a Retina screen, and it's quite compact on the horizontal axis, many programming fonts are far too wide for my tastes.
- iserlohnmage 7y agoJust curious, which font size do you use? I kinda feel that small font size + serif make text unreadable.
- _emacsomancer_ 7y agoI think it's perhaps small font size + serif + low resolution. Serifs can improve readability at times.
- gnuvince 7y agoI used Iosevka for a whole year and it is one of the best fonts I've ever used, amazing quality. I only changed to Input because I wanted to have some variety.
- alexeiz 7y agoIosevka rocks. Regular, narrow width, nice looking both on low dpi and high dpi screens. It's the best for writing code IMO.
- pcnix 7y agoIosevka converted me into a narrow width font fan, +1 for this suggestion.
