While deciding on font for my site at neocities.org, I visited Google Fonts, to see what I could grab from their API.
One of the subjects I teach is Digital Inclusion & Accessibility. I use LibreOffice Impress for creating my presentations and since a couple of years back, the default font for those is Atkinson Hyperlegible.
I had already decided that I wanted a font size larger than regular throughout the site (1.15em) and a monospace.
So what's more logical than to look up Atkinson+Hyperlegible+Mono, and add to my style sheet?
While doing so, I noticed a new version of the variable/proportional font, Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, which I downloaded and installed for use in Libre Office and PDFs.
It looks great, and compared to the one released in 2019:
It has seven weights instead of two, expanded character set as well as language support (up to 150 languages from the original 27).
I highly recommend it, designed for supporting readers with lower vision, etc.
