I personally use Hack for monospace font, can't decide on a sans serif font
>>
I prefer fun fonts that aren't taking themselves too seriously. For interface I use Montserrat, Fira Sans or Overpass and as a monospaced font I use Fira Mono, Overpass Mono or Fantasque Sans Mono.

For printing I really love the URW Gothic L (sans-serif), the URW Palladio L (serif) and the Source Sans Pro (monospace).

Fo display, I prefer the DejaVu Sans (sans-serif, also replaces serif fonts in my fontconfig) and the Inconsolata (monospace).

Look at the lower case a. Is that what you're used to? At least the g is readable.
Try a font like Avant Garde. It gets both right and is much more readable.

try out some of the fonts listed here:
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/30040/Font-Survey-of-the-Best-Monospaced-Programming

Personally, I like Terminus and Proggy (clean, w/ slashed zero & bold punctuation) for programming.
Crystal, M+ 1m, and Latin modern mono fonts (serif) are good for general browsing. The latter is designed by Donald Knuth, which is pretty cool.

>objectively the best font

No such thing. It's like asking what is objectively the most beautiful woman. There are at least a few every year and the top 10 keeps changing. But some stand the test of time better than others.

So Futura is a classic font you can never go wrong with. Same for some versions of Helvetica Neue.

But I think Montserrat and Crimson text are some of the best looking this year.

Fun fact: You're thinking of the typeface. The font is how the typeface is executed; italic, bold, both or neither.

If you don't use a monospace font you're a sub 200 IQ ape.
