@isagalaev When I experimented with variable-width fonts they caused weird emphasis that drew the eye to nothing interesting.

Some words were very spaced out and didn't catch the eye as a "word". Words with letters that were squished together would jump out and grab my attention.

Just a personal anecdote, but it solidified my personal preference:
* monospace fonts when I care about the higher level structure
* variable width fonts when the words themselves are the content
