Ask HN: What fonts do you use most often and why?

I use DejaVu Sans Mono because it brings me joy, and is freely available. This applies whether I am on my work computer (MacBook Pro), or one of my personal computers running some Linux distro.

Fira Code[1] because I really enjoy its aesthetic (especially the ligatures).

For general purposes, I like Open Sans[2].

I really like Verdana, Palatino Linotype as far as "default fonts" go. My website uses Cabin for content and Armata for the logo; these are on Google fonts. https://bigcgi.com

Arial or Calibri are my goto fonts. I like things to be clear and easy to read.

Proxima Nova, it looks good and affordable ($5 a month on Adobe Fonts)
