What is your favorite monospace font for prose/code?

Related: Do any of you use non-monospace font for code?

The font in my terminal is Jetbrains Mono.

It replaced Input. I loved how you can configure important characters and height spacing in Input to your preference.

If I want something quirky, with a personality, but not so strong as to be off putting, then I reach for Fantasque Sans Mono.

I like SF Mono on Mac and its close cousin Roboto Mono elsewhere. Also like Inconsolata a lot.

My two cents: Ubuntu Mono is the only monospaced font I know that looks good for prose/code. I like to mix code and prose (in web and in Emacs org mode), and I prefer using the same font.

ditto.

Ubuntu Mono Bold is very compact horizontally, while not looking squished. Makes understand code with long variable names a bit easier.

Consolas, the best mono font hands down. Second best, IMO, is inconsolata.
