Neat, have you had a chance to compare this Fira Code?

Update/Edit

So I've been running this font for the better part of day. Transitioning from Fira Code was pretty seamless, all the ligatures I use daily are available. I like the simplified characters compared to Fira, in my opinion it makes scanning JSX/TSX slightly easier, this might also be due to the adjusted character spacing. Overall I think it's a good competitor to Fira Code. There's no clear winner here, both are nice to use, it'll come down to personal preference in the end.

Current VSCode Font Settings

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
"terminal.integrated.fontSize": 12,
"editor.fontSize": 13,
"editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,
