JetBrains Mono! Used to use Roboto Mono, because I liked how close it was to a standard sans-serif font, but JB Mono is similarly spaced and has the advantage of built-in ligatures and such.


Genuine question: What's the appeal of ligatures?

I never got the point. I want to see exactly what's in the document. With ligatures I have to translate what I see back to what I get. It seems like unnecessary cognitive load to me.


Wow JBM is very nice, love ligatures and it's so easy to read. Thanks for mentioning it.


Also, JBM is available almost everywhere, e.g. it comes with several mobile apps.
