Increased height for a better reading experience
I'm a bit late at the party writing about the Jetbrains font. It's a well thought-out font that has everything you'd expect in this day and age: lot's of language support, distinct characters all around, true italics for all weights, and ligatures.
The main theme here though, is touched on by that little quote at the top: whether you like this font or not seems to be completely determined by how much you like the x-height. It ensures readability and smooth rendering at small sizes. For some though, the lower case characters are now so close in size to the uppercase ones that it actually hurts readability. YMMV.
