I have a few font recommendations; “terminal fonts” (aka monospaced fonts with high readability).
All of these are either in the repos or in the AUR:
Fira Code / Fira Mono (Basically the same font but Fira Code has ligatures)
Jetbrains Mono
Share Tech Mono

My recommendation is Iosevka and especially their term font.

I’m using jetbrains myself at the moment, but prior to that I was using cascadia code and before that noto sans mono was a goto for me.
I like Hack for terminal, I always use that. Also in any graphical text editor.
But if you’re really adventurous, try otf-kaerukaeru

That font does not seem to exist or be updated anymore.

That’s probably for the best I’d stick with Hack.
EDIT: kaerukaeru works for me:

I approve. Iosevka
is great if you want narrow monospaced font. For “wider” font I prefer terminus
- especially in tty.
I even switched Firefox to Iosevka:size=16 and although it looked odd at the beginning I find the text easier to read - I was probably fed up by Noto fonts. Some pages have problem with the font but nothing too severe.
Kresimir:
Hack
It’s like Comic Sans but worse.
Never tried to install it, but couldnt find any references to it outside the repos. The designer’s own link doesn’t work, for example.
This is the new website: https://gitlab.com/velvetyne/kaerukaeru
Note, I’m not seriously suggesting you’re using this as a terminal font It’s not even monospaced.
