Crystal is also nice.

Bare requirements for a font:
>slashed 0
>1Il distinction
If there are fixed and variable width versions, even better.

Are there any fonts that look like terminus that do Japanese text in that same style?

I don't disagree but i also only use this font on one computer. Iosevka looks right to my eyes.

For non terminal fonts (not monospaced) my go to is Nokia Sans, it's the font Nokia used for their phones, and still makes for a great UI font

Yep, UI font thread

My favorite is uw-ttyp0, especially the bold variant. It just has so much character. The serifs are reminiscent of that one Sun serif font (?), or the X.org "courier" font. Aside from that, I like the rounded M+ variants like Mgen+, again because they have so much character.
I also know there's some other comic/rounded fonts. Anyone care to mention them? I forget the names.

Sure anon, because we are in 80s.

>>108689898
A nice font without curves would be ideal, unfortunately Nippo Complete (pic) is not monospace. I figured out that curves are a luxury and at small (or regular) scale you can actually distinguish if a glyph has curves or not.

I like SF Mono but it's too similar to IBM mono, plus what >>108695255 said. If your monitor's ppi is >200 it's going to look fuzzy. Menlo is a better choice.

I'd use them for my terminal if not for the fact they don't work as well on 27" 1440p pixel density. I just use Iosevka now because Unicode support+better density.

I like Pragmata Pro. It's legible and aesthetically pleasing while allowing more characters to fit in my 1366x768 screen.

Go and find pirated version of Berkeley Mono. I didn't buy and share it on pirate telegrams just for nobody to use it
>>
>>108689898
I like(d) it but it’s available only in one weight
I use SF Mono now in Terminal.app and I think it’s better
MonoLisa for code normally, and Berkeley Mono in GNOME Terminal

Out of the fonts on that list, my favorite are:
Maple
Victor Mono
Recursive

I like when the italic version of the font looks cursive. It's like getting two fonts in one.

I'm giving this free alternative a try.

If you care about fitting as many characters on a screen as possible, Spleen >>108692300 boasts the smallest font size that is still legible. I think they go as low as 5x8.
