It is a very old one from the ie4 Era. Looks a bit more retro but mostly like all the other typical programming fonts.
I switched to it because I own a watch using this font and liked the idea of matching it to my system.
This is definitely missing Dank: https://dank.sh It's my favorite programming font, made by a good friend of mine. It has awesome ligatures and the italic version is beautiful, similar to Operator Mono!
Every thread about programming fonts is not complete without mentioning the wonderful website https://app.programmingfonts.org (no affiliation, I just find it really useful) which lists all the free programming-related fonts with live preview (for example every single font from the article, and every one mentioned so far in every comment in this thread is already there in the app) - it allows quick one-click preview…
That is a truly fantastic site but it doesn't mention https://dank.sh/ which I first heard about in this thread. Just to nitpick. But I am right now going through every one of those fonts in the app to compare with the one I've used for almost a decade now.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe it's because I've only used fixed-width fonts for programming and have gotten used to it - but I find fixed-width fonts significantly easier on the eyes.
Only when coding or always, for example books and websites including this one?
My favorite lesser known coding font is Monofur: https://www.slant.co/options/228/~monofur-review
I see Input Mono is mentioned, but I actually really like using Input Sans, also from Font Bureau. It's a proportional coding font. I feel like I'm living in the future. You can get it here: https://input.fontbureau.com And amazingly, you can personalize your font on download, such as choosing dotted vs slashed zeroes. Not free, but free for personal, non-commercial use. (Check the terms)
My current favorite is the 8x16 Atari ST system font. Its thick strokes really help my aging eyes. Bitmap fonts for life.
