scientifica

Tall and condensed bitmap font for geeks.

scientifica is largely based on creep, with a number of minor tweaks to improve readability (a matter of taste of course). Most characters are just 4px wide, which is brilliant for low dpi(90-120) displays.

What's new?

• Scaleable ttf format
• Raster formats: otb and bdf
• Ligatures (vim and neovim only)
• Bold and Italic variants
• New Characters to the following unicode blocks:
  • Geometric Shapes
  • Arrows
  • Miscellaneous Technical
  • Miscellaneous Symbols
  • Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A
  • Private Use Area (Powerline symbols)
  • Mathematical Operators
  • Box Drawings
• Revamped characters: V, *, f, W, M, ~, & , i, t, a, (), [], {}
• Vertically centered operators
• Larger Brackets to ease recognizability in streams of text
