Recently found the Golang fonts. https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts

Monospaced with serifs - totally blew my mind. I am using it since then and it is the best font for me I have tried so far.




Looks like the old SunOS console font. https://i.stack.imgur.com/g1qkf.png


Yeah, ever since they released those I've been using Go Mono in my terminal (and thus in Vim for coding). I'm not even particularly particular about fonts—I do care a little though—but this one just sat really well with me.


Wow, that's just like how code is typeset in very old books. I guess printers in the 1980s had one up on us.


Couldn't agree more. I like Serif fonts, but they are hard to find in monospace form. I've known about the Input fonts, but their license is too restrictive. Recently I discovered two that are open source: Courier Primer and Go Mono. I have switched to Go Mono as soon as I found out about it, even though I was a long time Source Code Pro user

I think this font deserves to be more widely known.
