monaspace

Possibly something similar to GitHub Monaspace's "texture healing" [1], i.e. variable-width characters individually centered on a fixed grid, for which e.g. an "m" is wider when placed next to an "i"? ...or maybe something much less sophisticated: it just keeps the appearance of the main fixed-width variant you'd use for code, but it's a slightly-variable width variant for plain text, where vertical alignment isn't important.

Monaspace has a feature called "texture healing" that does something similar: it allows bigger letters to "steal" space from adjascent smaller letters, to make it easier to read. The result is that the letters are still in a grid, while still allowing for bigger letters to "breathe". https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/blob/main/docs/Textu... It's the main reason I use monaspace as a font.

I got the same result. I usually use Monaspace by GitHub. Interestingly, they both use texture healing. https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/blob/main/docs/Textu...
