Click your way to your favorite monospace font

Every once in a while I try a different coding font. Consolas, DejaVu Sans Mono, JetBrains Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono are all ones I’ve spent significant time with over the past several years. These days I’m using Hack and have been quite happy with it.

My requirements are generally pretty simple – also 0/O must be easily distinguishable as well as 1/I/l. I also absolutely DESPISE ligatures and find them incredibly distracting, so they must be optional. (This is why I couldn’t live with JetBrains Mono – there was no “ligature free” option.) Victor Mono looks kinda nice, but I don’t really like how tall it is.

Anyway, last thing I need in my life right now is to go down another rabbit hole of dicking around with fonts so I should probably stay away from this site.
