Mine is mononoki

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?

That's a very nice one! I also enjoy programming ligatures.

I use Cartograph CF. I like to use the handwriting style for built-in keywords. Those are common enough that I identify them by shape. The loopy handwriting helps me to skim over the keywords to focus on the words that are specific to each piece of code.

sample Haskell code with a handwriting font variant for the words "let", "in", and "where"

I wish more monospace fonts would use the "m" style from Ubuntu Mono. The middle leg is shortened which makes the glyph look less crowded.

Cartograph looks good. Ubuntu mono is also a great font but I guess it doesn't support ligatures.
