Very nice and condensed. The same reason I switched to Iosevka (Joseph), recently:

The fun thing with Iosevka is that one stands a reasonable chance of reading the source code (as opposed to just random numbers in SplineSets etc.)

Iosevka is a beautiful font indeed. the condensed look of Myna was inspired by Iosevka. i saw it once in a coding demo and decided to make it condensed. the predecessor of Myna (called Hera, available on my profile) was just a customised version of Source Code Pro (and is non-condensed, just like Source Code Pro).

I thought Myna looked weirdly familiar. I use Source Code Pro just about everywhere.

Beside being a neat font in its own right, Iosevka allows for custom builds with different settings, selection from a bunch glyph variants, and custom ligature choices. It's pretty incredible.

Iosevka is great. I use a custom version Iosevka Orw from here https://github.com/s0la/orw/tree/master/.fonts

It's about halfway between standard Iosevka and a typical monospace font in terms of narrowness. I find it ideal.

Thank you for the detail that Iosevka is a form of the name "Joseph." I've used this font for years and it never clicked for me--nor did the correct pronunciation, which it turns out was always listed on the readme.

Switched from Iosevka to this, feels a little more readable.

My favorite monospaced font, on Windows and Mac.

I switched to codenewroman mono with a nerd font.

Makes my terminal look amazing as well.

Especially since I've been working on a color scripts compilation that relies heavily on font being accurate
