I am not a font guy, I just discoveted Jetbrains Mono and now its my systemwide font on arch (btw) linux.

I don't find new fonts often, but i went looking for some nice monospaced ones not long ago and found Toren Mono, Drafting* Mono, and Monaspace (Xenon).

Of the three Monaspace is my favorite because of how it handles very wide or narrow letters like MmWw, liIj. If a wide letter is next to a narrow one, the wide one takes up more space at the expense of the narrow one that would normally have a hard time filling the full width. It makes the font prettier and easier to read, while still being fixed width.

I also recently remembered Pelagiad when i saw it on the cover of Mark Rosenfelder's Language Construction Kit and wondered how he got the rights to publish a book in the similar Magic Cards font.

Comic Shanns. Nostalgic and rather readable. Use it on my work computers and close to switching home to it.

Additionally, I am loving the heck out of Libertinus Sans and TG (TeX Gyre) Pagella

Not really a recent discovery, but I'm in the mood for serif fonts without too much contrast. Appli Mincho seems decent for Japanese in that regard.
