My problem with Iosevka (and Input and others like them) is that the [x-height][0] is too large, ie the bottom-half parts are too tall compared to the top-half and uppercase letters. Especially in less-wide weights, it feels muddy and hard to distinguish.

That is exactly the kind of problem this font wants to solve. Just change the x-height to your taste: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/master/parameters.t...

You can probably tweak a couple numbers in parameters.toml or something. I made my own weight in between normal and medium, for example.

curious what fonts do you use and find acceptable?
