Juggling between fonts

Lately, I was juggling between mono fonts for my IDEs. I use IntelliJ and Android Studio mainly, and love their JetBrains Mono font with the medium variant of 500 weight. Then I got interested in IBM Plex Mono font. I liked its 'Text' variant that has a weight of 450.

Anyway, after a month of Plexing, GitLab Mono caught my attention. But while going through their documentation and also using it in parallel, I realised it is a modified version of JetBrains Mono with a few changes & optimization. I used it for some time. But honestly, I did not see much difference, and I like ligation.

So finally, now again I am monofying with JetBrains, for all of my mono-based fonting.

A while ago, I read about Losevka font. It seems interesting. Maybe I will try it next when I am free again to juggle with another font :D
