Can anyone identify the font? I tried whatthefont but it's only giving me paid fonts, I'm pretty sure this is a free font but can't seem to find it.

Typewalk Mono 1915 according to the FontSquirrel font identifier

Looks pretty similar to me, and being a monospaced font makes sense as it's being used by a dev.

That's definitely wrong. The "r" glyph has no top-right curve or serif, whereas Typewalk Mono 1915 has an exaggerated curve. The photos' s glyphs have open apertures, but Typewalk has closed apertures (curled-in stroke ends).

Yes, he surprisingly even mentions it:

We’re talking about the black-background images, right?

I think it may be Noto Sans Mono.

>I tried whatthefont

Has that website ever worked for anyone?

Yes but mostly to narrow the solution space. I usually end up comparing glyphs from the subset.

I think this one fits the most. It's also a popular Google font, so would make sense for a developer to use it. Thanks!

The author links to their timer script, which links to what looks like dotfiles[1].

The author uses awesomewm (window manager), and loads the default font[2]. Default font is noto sans[3].

Adobe Capture (app) has one of the best in my experience https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/visual-search-adobe-font...
