Ubuntu Mono

brew install --cask font-ubuntu-mono vlatest

Monospaced font from the Ubuntu Font Family, designed for clear legibility in terminals and code editors.

Why you might care

Open-source font created by Canonical with excellent metrics for coding and terminal use. If you prefer a humanist sans-serif monospace over more geometric alternatives like Fira Code or JetBrains Mono, Ubuntu Mono offers good readability without stylistic extras.
