I really dislike how narrow it is. Fortunately that is customizable! This is my version that I’ve modeled off of Input Mono: https://codeberg.org/ashton314/iosevka-output

For me, Iosevka will always be the one that worked. It got me to abandon bitmap fonts.

Iosevka, a proper fontconfig, and this value `export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0"` are all I ever needed.

I remember falling in love with PragmataPro many years ago, I really like narrow fonts, but I couldn’t afford it (I don’t remember how much it was at the time but it was something insane, at least for my wallet). Then Iosevka entered the scene, and I never looked back. Really awesome project, especially the customization part.

It’s nice to see this font have a slab serif, because monospace serif fonts are quite rare (I don’t consider Courier a serif). The only other monospace serif font I can think of is Monaspace Xenon. [1]

[1] There was also at one point a monospace variant of Bitstream Vera Serif called “Verily Serif”.

Every time I see a cool new font like this, I want to switch to it.

But, almost always, I end up switching back to DejaVu Sans Mono for just about everything monospaced.

I've been using Iosevka for years now, it's definitely one of my favorites. What I enjoy the most is that it's narrow, so I can cram more data per line.

I use both the standard/fixed versions and Aile and Etoile for UI.

This is the best font I have ever found, and I have tried a lot of them over the years. The ability to specify your own variations and generate your own fonts is really useful. I am a big fan of the dotted zero, for example.

The readability is excellent, and this font replaced everything else that I tried before. Highly recommended!

Nice but I still prefer JuliaMono.

meta: if you are a heretic like me, use a proportional coding font. (in 2026 we can move past 80-column terminal style coding)

for this, i like Input Sans a lot.

Got introduced to Iosevka through watching Tsoding. Really cool coding font.
