I have a thing for monospaced fonts and sans-serif.

What they all have in common is slab-like serifs on the i and j. It is not an easy problem to solve to make these two fit harmonically in their allotted space but does anyone know a monospace font that solved this issue in a different way?

Pointfree does it right by giving i and l friendly curves.

Very nice. Thanks a lot, that is good example of what I was looking for. To the curious, here is a link to the font:
