For serif, I want fonts to be fancy and elegant and I'm in love with Charter/Charis in that regard, and I also really like Computer Modern fonts - but that might be just nostalgia.

For sans-serif, I want fonts to be playful and cute and fun - and Fira Sans is exactly that.

For monospace fonts, I just use Iosevka and Source Code Pro, because they are pretty in my eyes and most of all get the job done.

Any recommendations on bitmap fonts? I'm stuck with a crappy 1600x900 screen and the only fonts that doesn't look like garbage are fixed-width fonts like Terminus and Peep.

I'm a huge fan of Cozette [0] which is based on Dina which is based on Proggy - which both are good alternatives. I particularly like Cozette's goal of being a Bitmap Alternative to Nerd Fonts [1] as it lets me use it in a lot of places where icon glyphs are desired.
