Missing B612 Mono (I prefer it to Jetbrains): B612 is an highly legible open source font family designed and tested to be used on aircraft cockpit screens.

In 2010, Airbus initiated a research collaboration with ENAC and Université de Toulouse III on a prospective study to define and validate an “Aeronautical Font”: the challenge was to improve the display of information on the cockpit screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading, and to optimize the overall homogeneity of the cockpit. https://github.com/polarsys/b612
