Description

Sometimes in terminal, I need to see closely to distinguish the number 6 and letter G, as shown in attached picture in vscode 13 pt Monaspace Neon Frozen. (the screenshot makes it looks much larger). It is easy to get confused among texts in terminal. Maybe there's any chance to improve?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Monaspace Neon Frozen glyph designs for 6 and G at small terminal sizes, using the attached screenshot and the reported 13 pt VS Code rendering as reference. Done means the two characters are more visually distinguishable without harming the font’s existing style; no source file or test is named in the issue.
