I don't think she was particularly youthful-looking in 1985 either tbh.

It's one of my favorites! Fira is also nice, and I use Fira Code for coding

Ok, some suggestions (sorry, didn't bother to check the characters in the monospace)

ibm plex - sans, serif & mono

Source sans, serif & code

Fira sans and Mono, code version too

Pt fonts sans, serif& mono

Noto mega family. I know, google, but...

Are you looking for a superfamily with sans/serif/mono? Or would sans & mono be enough?

What exactly are you looking for?

FYI, most fonts on Google fonts have not been commissioned by them, they are aggregating a lot of independently developed open source fonts. But if your looking for other sources, check Fontsquirrel or Fontshare

And if you give me some specifics, I'd be happy to recommend some specific faces.

I think whether it's faster to code directly depends on many things:

  • skills: as designers become more specialized in Ux and interaction design, code has become lower priority

  • the design maturity of the project. Already have a design system with components and styles? Easy to whip up a page without sketching/doing mockups. Otherwise moving things around might be more difficult in code

  • the needs of the team . Does getting html/css make the devs lives easier? Can code be shown to stakeholders? Can feedback be gathered easily? Can iterations be made? Compared? Tested?
