Nice font, it reminds me the kind of fonts they are using when showing code in movies

Definitely going to use it in my tools and for my projects, the flexibility offered in the repo looks so great!

If you want something actually more narrow, check out Anka/Coder Narrow.

Funny, I found this font last week on the programming fonts website before it blew up. Was using IoskeleyMono before, and think this is my endgame for now! Amazing readable font.
As someone who isn't super into fonts, this font reminds me a lot of Berkeley Mono, which is an incredible terminal font

Spacing looks good for monospace, but it's too wide for my taste.

I like the shape of the lowercase italic 'w'!

`Only two minimal ligatures are exposed with "->" and "=>".`
I like that, I usually have ligatures turned off, because I don't like all of them, especially the ones for == or ===. (Otoh I do like != ligatures...) but I do like the arrows.
This is probably were somebody tells me how easy it is to configure singular ligatures on a font and I'll facepalm in embarrassment for never finding out.

You can edit a font and remove the ligatures you dislike using fontforge [1].
I hate all of them with a passion, because they look like a glyph (i.e. "something you can erase with a single backspace") but aren't. This confuses me first, and annoys me second. "Just because we could" doesn't mean that we should.
Imagine having to use Backspace twice to erase e.g. Ö or Ñ, or being able to place your cursor halfway inside Æ.

It reminds me of OpenBSD's Spleen fonts

Brilliant project. The face looks good. The code looks good. It’s nice to see it in Python too. I don’t especially love the language but I have a great fondness for seeing life things codified with a standard API in a typed (or at least, type-able) language. Needing to draw an “A” in something without having to pull in font libraries (that is to say passing a compatible draw context to this project’s LowercaseAGlyph.draw) sounds nice.

Y'know, I didn't think anything was gonna pull me away from Iosevka but... here we are. Gonna give this a real go. Helping its case is that it looks a bit like Berkeley Mono.

Very nice.

While this is nice, I'm gonna take the opportunity to plug Commit Mono because it's my favorite monospace font https://commitmono.com/.

Thanks for mentioning it! First time I heard about Commit Mono. The first paragraph already had me wondering how a monospace font can read this well.
Turns out it has smart kerning, ie. character positions are subtly adjusted to compensate for different character widths. For example, i is narrow and m is wide. That causes words like "commit" to look bad in standard monospace fonts. The m's in the middle are very densely spaced and there are wide gaps around the i.
I'll be testing Commit Mono in my editors. Maybe it will even make me switch SilverBullet back to a monospace config.

Wow this is highly legible, my eyes and brain really like this. I think I’ll start using it actually.
LE: Ok, so it's a little more different that JetBrains Mono as this comparison shows https://claude.ai/artifact/HPiALZ7AZ2f5FxSZtcTdNa
And who isn't?
Squints - m is too weird - tab closed :)
