Linux

Inter everywhere

Personally, whatever is default.

I know that may sound weird, but I'm a huge fan of sane defaults that I don't even notice are there.

Poppins, RobotoMono, Comfortaa and OpenDyslexic

SegoeUI, it’s damn good and well made

Pusab (I'm a gd player)

I've been using Fantasque sans mono for a bunch of years now.

Whatever the default font is

Ubuntu

VictorMono, has a cool cursive, mono spaced font.

I don't have a favorite system font, am I meant to? I did try to play with fonts at one point but the process of finding fonts and then figuring out how to install them was a bit much.

Inter for desktop and the nerd-font variant of JetBrainMono for Terminal.

I've been enjoying Fira Sans and Fira Mono for far too long: https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/

Please don't hate me but for desktop I use Segoe UI. After years of using it everything else looks just kinda off and cheap to me. Similar to when folder icons are not yellow

Iosevka.

I've been a fan of IBM Plex for a while now.

Ubuntu font. Idk why but I like it.

Since basically forever I use DejaVu Sans for UI elements and DejaVu Mono for the terminal.

Protomolecule for that scifi feel

I've been using Source Code Pro for a while now. Might not be the best, but it does the job for me.

For desktop, I've liked Lato, Source Sans Pro, and Inter to name three.

For terminal, I used Iosevka's customizer to create a gorgeous Fira Mono-like variant that I call Iosevka Firesque:

[buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque]
family = "Iosevka Firesque"
spacing = "term"
serifs = "sans"
noCvSs = true
exportGlyphNames = false

  [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants]
  inherits = "ss05"

    [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants.design]
    capital-g = "toothless-corner-serifless-hooked"
    capital-q = "crossing-baseline"
    g = "single-storey-serifed"
    long-s = "bent-hook-tailed"
    cyrl-a = "single-storey-earless-corner-serifed"
    cyrl-ve = "standard-interrupted-serifless"
    cyrl-capital-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
    cyrl-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
    cyrl-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-er = "open-serifless"
    cyrl-er = "earless-corner-serifless"
    cyrl-capital-u = "cursive-flat-hook-serifless"
    cyrl-u = "curly-motion-serifed"
    cyrl-capital-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
    cyrl-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
    brace = "straight"
    ampersand = "upper-open"
    at = "threefold"
    cent = "open"

Lexend Deca for me. A mix of a dyslexoc-font, Arial and a bit of the roundness of Comic Sans. (Sorry, probably bad examples, am no font nerd)

For terminal/editor I went through CodingFont and ended up on Noto Sans Mono. Before that I used Source Code Pro for years. Both patched for nerd fonts, obviously.

Hack nerd font is my go to for terminal use.

I find comic sans mono actually looks surprisingly nice for coding and terminal.

U001 is my main system font as a clone of Univers. Monospace is Berkeley Mono—it might be paid/proprietary but boy does it look nice & was an upgrade from several years with Iosevka. JuliaMono is its fallback though since I use Unicode with frequency & Berkeley doesn’t cover all the symbols I use.

The important part is if you care anything about your fonts, you won’t destroy them by patching in that uncurated hodgepodge called “Nerd Fonts” clobbering used symbols or the wrought-with-false-positive “coding ligatures” which is not how ligatures are supposed to be used but programmers refuse to demand Unicode support in their languages to fix the problem.

For sans-serif, I use Mona Sans. For monospace, I use Monaspace. I think it's a good-looking combination.

Gohu Font Nerd is a nice small bitmap font I'm fond of. Only issue is the size for high DPI monitors, but the JetBrainsMono nerd font is a nice vector font that's easy on the eyes (quite stereotypical/cliché, but that's for a reason).

any with a dotted zero, extra points for italic.

I use M+ Fonts for most of my stuff.

I always end up with SF Pro Display for my desktop. For terminal I’m happy with several mentioned here.

I love Eurostile Regular. Git it at https://freefonts.co/fonts/eurostile-regular
