The only monospaced vector fonts I've really liked are Iosevka and Envy Code R.

Otherwise, give me raster, baby. Terminus, ttyp0, the Oldskool PC Font Pack fonts, Topaz (Amiga font), Atari ST font, even something like Proggy Clean. Back in the 96dpi days, 7x13 was my jam. Those ancient, ugly glyphs are distinguishable across the room in less than ideal display conditions which is why I love them when staring at code for hours at a go. I may be a nostalgic grognard, and today's programmers may well be justified in preferring their IDEs in eggshell with Romalian type, but there you have it.
