"glyphs are exactly 1/2em wide". whut. 1em is the width of the M character. glyphs are exactly 1 em wide, they just happen to have a slim m.

The most underrated font ever.

I ve been using iosevka for 5+ years. Iosevka Extended is my go-t mono font. It's just clean and cool.

One thing I definitely love is it's easy to access. It has been packed for many package managers. I can just brew install or yay -S to get it.

Used Iosevka for a while, now fully on Aporetic for everything monospace. Something about the thin and tall serif just clicks with me, and Aporetic seemed to work better size wise for my terminals and GUIs.

Inconsolata is the one true font.

I know Iosevka from tsoding channel. He setups his emacs editor with Iosevka font.

Kids, gather 'round, story time: my first computer when I was a kid was a communist hacky clone of a ZX Spectrum; and at one point I managed to install CP/M on it (I had no idea at the time what an OS was, I just intuit that it was a 'big deal'); and for whatever reason, this OS used a very tall and narrow font and I loved it sooo much that ever since then, I associate the tall narrow fonts with the halcyon time of excitement and exploration of those innocent days.

I put Iosevka everywhere, not only in text editors but browsers and other desktop apps. It's one of the first things to do on a fresh machine. Thank you very much, @be5invis!

Is there a PDF specimen? I disable font substitution in my browser, but I do want to have a peek. But not a peek that requires reconfiguring my browser.

Although this may not apply to many, Iosevka is one of the few monospace fonts with excellent support for polytonic Greek.

This is really cool looking but it is really heavy on filesize. How did we get from few KBs to hundreds of MB this quickly these past few years?
