A lot of fonts feel like this. It's only once you set a whole page set in them it they start to look different especially when you do side-by-side comparisons.

Programmer fonts are even more samey as they are used at such small sizes comparatively and of course have the additional constraint of being monospaced (most of the time).

Personally with the amount of code I stare at each day even an oddly placed pixel can be annoying.
