Let's see Paul Allen's font.
If you love neo-grotesques, you can't do much better than Neue Haas Grotesk or Atlas Grotesk [2]. Both are by CommercialType, both cost a pretty penny, but both are absolutely amazing.
I fully agree with you about wanting beautiful and pleasing characters though. It's my gift to myself for being paperfree. If I'm going to read on screen instead of printed, I want the best possible experience. 32" 4K display, professional fonts, nice software for writing in etc.
Given that most of the gear in the business world is laptop-shaped, requiring two DisplayPort cables is just not going to fly. What do you mean, "get that expensive USB-C to dual DisplayPort dongle from Sonnet"? I thought DP1.4 was perfectly capable of driving an 8K monitor over a single cable, heck, that's what my old Dell Precision 7520 laptop is supposed to be able to do.

I still find it fascinating that there are so many different typefaces with such subtle differences in them, but since I'm looking at characters in the screen the entire day, these characters better be beautiful and pleasing.
I'm not gonna lie, every time I swap fonts on my desktop I keep remembering that one scene from American Psycho [0]. Maybe I should touch some grass.
