Designed to be easier to read and parse
I’m a Fira Code (patched w/ Nerd Font) user, but love to try out a new font every once in a while. This one does look nice. Will have to see about patching it w/ the nerd font glyphs, as my tmux/nvim output is going to look like garbage w/o those.
For my taste it looked a little too wide. Not as good as JetBrains Mono.
+1 for JetBrains mono. Been using it for years now.
For me Dejavu sans mono is a really good mono font, and it’s Foss 🙂
I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).
But I’m still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.
Edit: fira code, not sans.
Personally, I still prefer PragmataPro (tho I do admit it is a very expensive font), but this does look pretty good
I personally like the Jetbrains Mono font

Yup, that’s what I use simply out of not changing too many settings when I install an IDE.
It looks gorgeous
damn my eyes are feasting rn
I’ve been using Inconsolata
I’ve been using Adobe’s Source Code Pro for years (which they don’t even mention as an open source monospace font). This looks pretty good, but I am not a fan of the parenthesis
()and braces{}they look almost hand-drawn (or perhaps the arc is to harsh or something, IDK).The braces are a bit weird but they should be easier to distinguish at first glance because of it.
I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator
Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer’s aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it’d be anyone’s first choice, but every now and then I’ll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.
On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.
Yeah I think the aspect ratio is one of the main problems for me, which is funny because I’ve heard people being surprised when they saw my terminal window that my font is so narrow :p
I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.
You’ll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!

Somehow beautiful and terrible at the same time…
My poor eyes 😂
I might non ironically start using this
I’ve been using this for two days now on high contrast mode in Jetbrains IDEs I love it!!
Edit: wait I lied, I’m using Comic Mono, same idea though
I have Comic Mono too, it’s great. I’m using Comic Code for ligature support.
Ooo might have to check that out
Cool font, I’ll have to give it a try.
Something about just looks a little off.
I don’t like the braces :(
I’d like to see a font like this eventually replace the Ubuntu system typeface. There’s a lot of nostalgia and charm in that font, but it’s godawful ugly T_T
