The capital 'A' renders very strangely for me. Firefox, OSX. https://i.imgur.com/DmxoWeM.png
That is often from the font renderer using an “even-odd rule” in vector rendering.

What is your OS & browser version?

Have you tried Inconsolata? I like Jetbrains Mono a lot too, but somehow still stick to Inconsolata, even after trying so many others so many times.
Yes. Inconsolata is really good, as is Consolas, and both have been two of my favorite fonts. But JetBrains Mono has clicked in my brain like no other font. It's just so pleasing to read, especially on a 4K monitor. On the terminal, my favorite font is "Liberation Mono". Some of the other good fonts are: Cascadia Code/Mono, Droid Sans Mono, Fira Code, Hack, Menlo, Source Code Pro, and Terminus. I just happen to like…
The Google Fonts page doesn't really do justice to how dynamic this font is -- https://www.recursive.design/ has a live demo that shows more of the options, maybe the link should be changed to their demo. There are four dimensions and a few other flags that the font can be adjusted by in CSS: natural-width to fixed-width, Linear to "Casual", Font weight, Font slant, and cursive variants. By tweaking any of the variab…
Really cool demo indeed, but it lags a lot on my phone. Still a really great font

With parameter mono set to min. 0.5, you have a distinct 0 and O. And also serifs, nice font.
I like 0 vs O better, but 1 vs l worse: https://imgur.com/a/1tXx8aH

Also, there are fonts made specifically for code which have code ligatures & the simple l, f, 6, & 9 frozen in, if you like these features but don’t want to mess with OpenType features (or if your code editor doesn’t support that).

Any comments from someone using this font as a daily driver? I cant seem to move on from Source Code Pro (not that i'm looking to, just tried a couple and found myself clinging to Source Code Pro at the end of the day) This looks nice (similar to what I thought about JetBrains Mono)
I tried the mono version but a double forward slash glitches and overlays the next two characters - which kinda makes it unusable for anyone touching the web.

The issue doesn’t occur in web browsers, as far as I know, as they support proportional type (include mostly-mono families with a few proportional glyphs).
Can you download the font to the server and avoid Google on each page load? Or is it a copyright issue?
Why isn't the plus character, '+', valid? Shows up as one of those empty box thingies. Maybe it is just a limitation of the preview? Or does the font really not include a plus character?
The font definitely has the “+” symbol, along with many other math & currency glyphs (and many more).
Please check it out (and try the preview/tester) at:
Would be nice for a "code" font if the '+' character was displayed correctly.
The font has math symbols that render well. :-)

Good question. I might guess it's as free as most things in surveillance capitalism. Well, even if it were legal to host it yourself, most won't do it, so Google still cashs in on the surveillance side.
Wow. That is cool. If you have a big negative slant, and auto cursive enabled, you get much more of a humanist sans-serif, versus a neo-grotesque without those parameters. That's a huge amount of character to build into one single font. And the absolute max size for the font is 281kb, and a more pared down version is about 100kb. Yes, I know, you'll protest, page bloat! But if I wanted to use a non-variable font, eac…
Another thing worth considering in a “page bloat” debate is that while a very extensive variable font is maybe 300 kb, that size is fairly average for a JPEG, but you can do far more with a variable font.
