Would’ve helped to include screenshots of the typefaces.

But they did!

More to the point, it's practically impossible to judge a font's mood from the list of glyphs instead of a sample text. A related gripe is that Google Fonts only allows to see a short line of a custom text—I usually go to other sites just because of this misfeature.

Thanks for your suggestion. I updated the post with new images.

Also worth mentioning:

  Computer Modern (sans-serif/serif/monospace)
  DejaVu (sans-serif/serif/monospace)
  Fira (sans-serif/monospace)
  Inria (sans-serif/serif)
  Libertinus (sans-serif/serif/monospace)
  Luxi (sans-serif/serif/monospace)
  Merriweather (sans-serif/serif)
  Noto (sans-serif/serif/monospace)
  Overpass (sans-serif/monospace)
  Space (sans-serif/monospace)
  Ubuntu (sans-serif/monospace)

I love Alegreya. I use it for some of Silver Gryphon Games' books.

Nice list! I love IBM Plex
