Something I wish I saw more often are monospace fonts designed for readability (codingability?) that have narrower character width.

Iosevka is one of them, but to me the negative spaces between characters in it are too little for good readability, in other words it feels too "square"-ish. Other fonts close to it in style have other issues. I've been using M+ fonts for coding for more than a decade I think, and tried to switch but always returned to them. If you're somebody like me, check them out: https://mplusfonts.github.io

In terminals I'm using Source Code Pro or IBM Plex Pro and they work really well for me.

Also turns out IBM Plex Sans can be a solid font for designing dashboards, tables and generally more "technical" UIs, so whoever worked on that font familiy did a really good job imo.

And if you like iA Writer, they based their fonts off IBM Plex and you can get them for yourself too: https://github.com/iaolo/iA-Fonts
