Project mention: Berkeley Mono Typeface | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-18

One alternative you could consider is narrow fonts like Pragmata[1] (commercial) or Iosevka[2] (gratis, FOSS). Being able to fit more stuff onto you screen side-by-side is what enabled me to get as much into tmux as I am now.
