Terminex

This is a version of IBM Plex Mono made more usable in terminals and code editors with a few additions:

• Slightly darker weight (based on IBM Plex Mono Text).
• Uses slashed zero instead of dotted zero.
• Dash is slightly longer.
• Addition of box drawing characters from Adobe for use in terminals. As of version 6, IBM Plex Mono now provides box drawing characters!

Aside from these changes, there is no difference in the actual glyphs between these fonts and the original version of IBM Plex Mono - they mainly just contain metadata modification.
