Iosevka [ˌjɔˈseβ.kʰa] is an open-source, sans-serif + slab-serif, monospace + quasi‑proportional typeface family, designed for writing code, using in terminals, and preparing technical documents.

Installation

Installing from GitHub Releases

  1. Download your font package from releases.
  1. Quit all your editors / programs.
  2. Unarchive the font package and you will see the font files.
  3. Take actions depending on your OS:
    • Windows: Select the font files and drag into font settings / font control panel page.
      • On Windows 10 1809 or newer, the default font installation is per-user, and it may cause compatibility issues for some applications, mostly written in Java. To cope with this, right click and select “Install for all users” instead. Ref.

Character Variants

Alongside stylistic sets, Monospace Iosevka can also be configured to cherry-pick variants for each character using OpenType. The variants are shown below. To enable, assign the feature tag to the variant index. For example, setting cv26 to 6 will enable single-storey a.

Caution : Certain software may limit the quantity of OpenType features and drop some of them if the feature list is too long. Please validate your feature configuration to ensure that it worked in your software.

Iosevka supports Language-Specific Ligations, which is the ligation set enabled only under certain languages. These ligation sets are assigned to custom feature tags. To use them, you need to turn off calt and enable the corresponded feature. The feature list is:

Please note that, due to the complex interactions when forming ligations, cherry-picking ligation groups will require a custom Iosevka build. The instructions could be seen below.
