Adding to the list of 'this is what I am using', I have switched both terminal and code editor to Maple Mono[1]. Which, looking at TFA, seems to be somewhat similar in spirit as Atkinson Hyperlegible, although I haven't used that.

Maple has many ligatures, I personally like the hypervisible [TODO]. Overall I find it very legible, even on small sizes, and pleasing also for writing e.g. in Markdown.

Those are some sexy glyphs (gaps in curly punctuation).

The ligatures for keywords is clever. I appreciate those niceties. Like rendering small gaps in large numbers, eg '1000000' looks like '1 000 000'.

IIRC Berkeley or Monospaced have a few neat tricks like that.

I don’t like glyphs, but that normie mode looks excellent. I don’t know how I missed maple when doing my font search recently. Thanks for the link.
