I see some similarity to Fira Sans, which IMO is the most underrated sans serif. It is legible yet quirky, but just enough so as to not be annoying or pretentious.

Fira is based on FF Meta, both of which have Spiekermann as a designer.

Fira is great, but I've switched to JetBrains Mono and it's smoother on the eyes.
