Just found this nice blackletter font called longbow through another post on here. I really like it. Nice to have one with a hand written feel to it.

I am not a font guy, I just discoveted Jetbrains Mono and now its my systemwide font on arch (btw) linux.
With ligatures!
Yup! And all the european letters too.
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.
Wow, these are great, thanks for the share man.
Happy to help. I think i found the first three after asking for fonts here.
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.
