On another note, are there any notable examples of AI-generated mono-spaced programmer fonts?
The typeface is a modification of IBM Plex Mono[0][1]. I'd recognise that 'a' glyph anywhere.
However, I prefer IBM Plex[1], and it has the advantage of being an open-source project!
I have recently re-designed my CV (15 pages down to 2) and used IBM Plex for all of it... happy so far.
I greatly prefer the simplified glyphs for programming. Like IBM's Plex.
Adobe's Source Code Pro uses curly glyphs for the normal typeface and simplified for italics, which seems backwards to me.

I can't quickly refind the customizable font project with source code, where you recompile the typeface with the options you want.
> Like to get a font to use in your app, you need to pay $5,000+ for any decent looking font.
There are many high quality open source fonts available. For example:

Many foundries such as Grilli Type have free trials (https://www.grillitype.com/free_trials) and reasonable pricing for very high quality typefaces (https://www.grillitype.com/shops/gt-america <$1k for desktop + web)
Instead of pirating typefaces, please see:

Many foundries also offer trial versions of their typefaces. For example:

If you don't want to pay for a typeface, there are many very good open source options available. For example:
"This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1."
I'm impressed with the number of people who think that JS on most people's webpages is a good idea. Or that any JS was necessary to announce this font. It wasn't and wasn't carried off well here (nothing for the no-JS crowd).
A far easier page to write up and one that would have looked better could have been done with nothing but HTML, CSS (demonstrating the font in real-world usage even), and perhaps some PNGs to show bitmaps of the font (useful for those who, wisely, don't load every font the page says to load).
https://github.com/IBM/plex has the free font.
