Of the three, my favorites:

* Serif: Bitter (https://www.huertatipografica.com/en/fonts/bitter-ht) or maybe Vollkorn (http://vollkorn-typeface.com)

* Mono: Iosevka

* Sans-serif: maybe Fira Sans Condensed, previously perhaps DTL Prokyon.

I haven't seen any sans-serif fonts I've really loved in recent memory. I feel like most sans-serifs just influence from Helvetica and are really boring, lack character or creativity. I'd love to see if anyone here has any examples of novel or interesting sans serifs.

(I also know that good typography doesn't distract from the content, but even under that ideal I still find most modern sans serifs boring).

Love Iosevka. I switched from Source Code Pro to Iosevka, I used in vim and vscode.
