I recently discovered Monaspace [0] and was fairly impressed by its texture healing feature, besides generally looking nice. And it's free.

Every so often I go on a “font bender” and start searching for my “next great coding font”. I’ve been using Hack (https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/) for several years, but after looking at this I might need to give it a try. It looks really nice and the price is right. The font in the OP looks great too, but I can’t bring myself to pay for it. Not when there’s so many great alternatives out there at no cost.

I was the same until I started using Fira Code and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. the ligatures are worth it

I must say it does look awesome.

Although I'm personally not a fan of ligatures, I feel they may increase mental burden at times;

for example having to look closely if it's = vs == or == vs === among other examples.

+100 I really dislike ligatures. They are one of those things that seem great in theory but I find them to be a real distraction. This is why I never got into the JetBrains fonts — there was no ligature-free option. (Maybe there is now, but I haven’t felt motivated to try it again.)

You’re right! Check out the NL (no ligature) version: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/tree/master/fonts...
