I am not that experienced with pairing fonts but am wondering if one could direct on which is a good monospaced font to go with Computer Modern, or at least the principles one could use to figure out what a good pairing would be given that font. The font Inconsolata has been recommended but it doesn't pair very well. I have just found Computer Modern Typewriter, but not sure if that would be a good choice. An example of Computer Modern is below.

    " I have just found Computer Modern Typewriter, but not sure if that would be a good choice" – this is also by Donald Knuth, the designer of CM (and the typesetting system TeX, for which all of these fonts were designed). It's one superfamily; so yeah, definitely a 'good choice'. – Jongware Jul 23 '18 at 8:37

After having a look to all this big list at fontsquirrel.com, the only monospaced font that I think fits better with the Computer Modern Roman is Luxi Mono.

Common points:

  • The structural basis of the characters is the same as a Roman family
  • It has similar but rectangular serif, it's a Slab Serif family
  • It has strokes modulation

One good monospaced family I've used recently is the Decima Mono Pro.
