Are there any monospaced fonts like this, with a focus on hyperlegibility?

There are a number of very nice monospace typefaces that have lots of character variants so you can essentially pick and choose different letter styles (dotted, crossed or regular zeros, etc).

I personally love Fira Code with its ligatures.

I love Fira Code. I suspect Iosevka is the winner when it comes to customization though:

You can basically mimic features of almost any other big name among monospace fonts.

The only downside I can think of is that it updates really often and the website doesn't have a way to save your customizations, so upgrading is a drag.

Given that it's a free font I'm not complaining though.

Font preference is very subjective. My personal fave is bitstream vers sans mono. But the one that ships with pychcharm is really good, too.

well legibility is an objective, measurable characteristic
