If you want to publish text using something from the Input font family, you can see the prices here (opens in new tab) (from $5).

Input is free to use for private, unpublished usage in your personal coding app. You can also customise the forms of certain key characters including the letters 'i', 'l', 'a' and 'g'. It's described as having generous spacing, large punctuation, and easily distinguishable characters, and a lot of consideration has been given to the size and positioning of symbols frequently used in coding. That means you really can get whatever you want from this font set. There’s a range of widths, weights and styles, each with serif, sans and monospaced variants, resulting in 168 different styles in total. It comes in both proportional and monospaced variants, but since it's been designed with coding in mind, the proportional spacing is tailored, so you may consider it over the monospaced version. Input is a system of fonts designed specifically for coding by David Jonathan Ross.

The GitHub page has coding samples from a range of languages so you can see how things look. But if this does appeal, Fira Code is a widely supported, popular programming font that makes code easy to read.

If you’ve already been reading normal code for years, there's every chance you might not want to make the change. How you feel about this of course depends on personal taste. So, for example, the = and != combinations are rendered as proper equality glyphs, which are supposedly easier for the brain to process than two separate characters that have their own individual meanings. The code variant of Fira includes programming ligatures – special renderings of certain character combinations that are designed to make code easier to read and understand.
