Fonts

I always want the best fonts for my terminal, my text editor, my ... But I'm not satisfied easily, so I keep trying new fonts. Prefer free fonts of course :D

TLDR:

On macOS, use San Francisco for everything. Remember each time macOS release new version/new update, you should download again to get (maybe) latest version.

Otherwise:

Always choose OTF over TTF format.

JetBrains Mono

JetBrains branding font.

Ligatures I prefer: ss02, cv04, cv16, cv18, cv19, cv20.

Iosevka

I often choose SS08 variant because I also love PragmataPro too.

Font is narrow, can display much more on small screen. But too much config/variant for ligatures scares me.

Recursive

I often choose Casual variant.

Ligatures I prefer: ss10, ss12.

Looks good on my phone.

agave

Font is small, can display much more on small screen. I like its curved look.

Sudo

Small fonts, saving space.

Unique to me. Strange #, looks same as 4 (I don't like it for now).

Fantasque Sans Mono

Comic vibe. Look smoothly and too much curve.

APL-385 and APL386

I love its wide look, also it's feel nostalgic.

IBM Plex

IBM branding font, good alternative for Inter, has both monospace and display variant.

Looks fancy. Strange #.

Hermit

Looks unique to me, with some sharp look.

Nerd Fonts

For fancy terminal, only need NerdFontsSymbolsOnly

Murr fonts, but I don't use much now (some fonts I already try in the past)

Bitmap/Oldschool

Only display

Trendy

Costing money fonts, but I like them too much, will probably buy it if I have money:
