  • Verdana.

    The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn’t a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.

    Letters aren’t meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.

    If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!

    Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.
