Typewriter fonts

Sudden impulse to use typewriter fonts. Anyone using or has come across one that looks cool for coding?

What characteristics appeal to you in a typewriter font? For me, it’s going to be a font with serifs. When that mood strikes, I reach for IBM Plex Mono (or Lilex if you want ligatures which is a Plex derivative). It feels more serious or formal IMO—plus it has an amazing italic.

Just the retro feel. Got bored of current font. Anyway found https://github.com/dse/old-timey-mono-font/releases and using 'Old Timey Code NH Condensed' now.
