I'm partial to how cleanly written https://github.com/google/leveldb is. It is a reasonable size to fully read & grok in not too long.
If you want something much larger, getting the gist of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project could be useful. Not only is it cleanly written, but then you'll understand your compiler better!
For example, if you are interested in 2D software rendering, check out antigrain library (https://github.com/ghaerr/agg-2.6) - it uses a lot of templates and interesting patterns that maybe you want to get familiar with, and as a bonus it has nice features that you can understand after few days exploring of that codebase.
Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).
