Have you tried Inconsolata? I like Jetbrains Mono a lot too, but somehow still stick to Inconsolata, even after trying so many others so many times.

Also, Inconsolata 3.0 is also a variable font with a wide range, including widths from 0.5 to 2.0 of the standard width. I need to see about doing something similar to the Recursive mini-site where I show that off and explain how to get access to the capabilities, but have been busy with other stuff.

Yes. Inconsolata is really good, as is Consolas, and both have been two of my favorite fonts. But JetBrains Mono has clicked in my brain like no other font. It's just so pleasing to read, especially on a 4K monitor.
On the terminal, my favorite font is "Liberation Mono".
Some of the other good fonts are: Cascadia Code/Mono, Droid Sans Mono, Fira Code, Hack, Menlo, Source Code Pro, and Terminus. I just happen to like JetBrains Mono the most.
