Microsoft has recently released a new font, Cascadia Code, specifically for developers. The font style also supports ligatures, which help to differentiate symbols and glyphs used to create meaningful data sets to be identifiable to the writer. The spacing of the the letters is to ease the amount of use a developer undergoes while staring at monotonous lines for hours on end. The example they gave, “The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over the Lazy Dog 1234567890” is easily distinguishable from other letters within the chain. It was originally supposed to be paired with the new Microsoft terminal application, however the Lead Developer Kayla Cinnamon has stated it will work fine with other terminals such as Visual Studio. The code is free and will be open source for anyone who wants to download it onto their current machine, and it will be rolled out later this year with all future versions of the Microsoft Terminal. It is a bit more complicated to run with Visual Studio, but can be done and there are instructions on the page.
