The asterisk is far too heavy for anyone working in a language that makes heavy use of it.

I normally use Inconsolata at "11 point" (quotes because this is a nominal value, not actual) size; JuliaMono is larger when used at the same nominal size, but going down to 10pt results in a level of graininess that I don't find acceptible.

Great effort, but I'll stick with Inconsolate for now.
