My programming font. It’s proportional and uppercase letters have a 1/3 of a space of left padding.
Proportional because they are faster to read in general, and the padding makes reading camel-case faster as well.

In the example I initially assumed your font was the Jetbrains example and thought it was ugly and unreadable. Then when I saw the next example I read it with no effort and almost immediately internalized that the mini-space is not and the wide-space is.
Are there any default fonts that do this on most systems? Mac, Windows, iOS, etc. that I can use if I don’t have access to install a font. I am often on shared devices and this would be a game changer if my first experience is what I think it is - easier and more enjoyable reading.
(Going to install it now on my iPhone to experiment it as a default daily driver)
I got used to the padding in a few minutes, the first version had a 1/4 space padding and then I pushed it to a 1/3.
To me, the main problem is tabularized alignment. So I don’t use it for example on nginx.conf
Because that 1/3rd fake space space looks about the same size as the proportionally-sized real spaces you have elsewhere.
