Learn more about JetBrainsMono
JetBrains Mono is an open-source monospaced typeface distributed under a free license for use in development environments. The font is built with OpenType features that enable optional ligatures for common programming operators and symbols, with a no-ligatures variant (JetBrains Mono NL) available for editors lacking OpenType support. It includes 8 weight styles from Thin to ExtraBold, each with italic variants, and features an increased x-height for lowercase characters to improve readability at small sizes while maintaining standard character widths. The font supports a comprehensive character set including Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and various symbols commonly used in code.
Configurable ligatures
Includes optional OpenType ligatures that can be toggled on or off in editor settings. A separate no-ligatures variant is provided for environments without OpenType support.
Increased x-height design
Maximizes lowercase character height while maintaining standard width, improving pixel density and readability at small font sizes without affecting line length expectations.
