I loved Fira Code as well but it was love at first sight with IBM Plex https://www.ibm.com/plex/


Oh god, that website though. How many CSS animations do I have to suffer through before it lets me scroll down to any actual information? Make it stop!!


Man, you weren't kidding! That is literally the most useless website I've ever seen. I spent over two minutes on it and still couldn't find a simple table of examples.


page 5 has examples


I struggled to find it so you don't have to -- here's the download link: https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases

Seriously though, what an atrocious site...


Yes the website is modern garbage but the font is superb.


I was impressed with IBM Plex Sans at first, too. It was going to be my website's main font. I switched it for Inter UI, because it spoke to me more.

(Also, thanks for reminding me of it. I think I've just found the font for a redesign project.)


Checked the website - looks like the zero isn't slashed, and I've spent too much time chasing down errors caused by oh's as zeros.


It is dotted zero, although I have seen modified versions with a slashed zero.


The examples on the IBM site had zeros without slashes or dots. And the character set showed a slashed zero exists, but it isn't the default zero. I believe you if you're using it, but I'm not sure where your dotted zero came from.


You sure you're checking the example for the mono variant of the font? It shows as dotted for me on the site. https://i.imgur.com/Y9bK6Yh.png
