The default font weight in vscode is a bit bulk

[TZECHIN6]

Why does the font-weight seem that heavy (bold) in vscode? Below is my setting, I haven't set any fontweight modifier... should be the default regular one.

 "editor.fontFamily": "'Monaspace Neon', monospace",
 "editor.fontLigatures": "'calt', 'liga', 'dlig', 'ss01', 'ss02', 'ss03'",

for comparison, below are the same config with Source code pro

I agree. This font is bolder than all of the other monospace fonts I've used before. IMO, it's not really usable at this level of boldness. When using a dark color theme, the contrast is really intense.

Note: This is not a VSCode issue. It appears just as bold in other apps.
