There's a free monospace serif-looking font called Go (made for Go, the programming language), designed by Bigelow & Holmes: https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts

I've been using Go/Go Mono as system fonts for a while, and they're one of my favorite typefaces. Their spiritual predecessors, Luxi Sans/Serif/Mono, are also worth checking out.
Go Mono is my favorite console font, alternating with Plex Mono...
I have been using that font as my main development font since it was released. Great looking font. Although I have to give an accolade to Iosevka which is easily my favourite "narrow" font.
I switched to this right after it came out - it's amazing.
Unfortunately it isn't using a usual font license. It's not really clear under what conditions you can use/redistribute it.
According to the GP's site:
> They are licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software
Which I assume is this one: https://golang.org/LICENSE
It may not be usual, but what about the licensing terms is unclear?
