It explains the font's customizable character choices and provides installation instructions for the v1 release. ### Source excerpt Every time I switch or try out a new font, I track it in my my-new-programming-font series. Some of the popular ones: IBM Plex Mono, Recursive, Commit Mono, Berkeley Mono. This time's a little different. It's one I've "made" myself, and I'm calling it Moxy. Built on strong bones ## Moxy is built on top of Recursive. It's a stretch to call it a new font -- it's Recursive with a set of opinionated character choices and a few fixes to the original. There's two things I love about Recursive: it's one of the most legible and clear fonts out there it's got flair1 Recursive was also a pioneer in pushing what variable type fonts can do. Another font I've been testing and playing with is Lilex. It's popular again because editors like Zed use it as the default. Lilex is really just IBM Plex Mono with a set of special characters and ligature choices. It's an excellent font in many ways, and one I often find myself switching to. Lilex has a few ligatures I absolutely love for programming. So, with the power of AI coding, I thought to myself: what if I had Recursive but with some of the glyphs of Lilex? Thus was born Moxy. What's different: ## The font ships with my specific Recursive character choices baked in. But you can swap them in and out depending on your preference. Install it ## Download the v1 release, unzip it, and install the .ttf files like any other font. Alternatively, use brew: brew install --cask kaushikgopal/tools/font-moxy People understandably love and swear by JetBrains Mono. They keep asking why I don't cite or bring it up. I love that JetBrains Mono exists, but I find it a "drab" font -- and that's not always a bad thing. When you look at Recursive, it makes a statement. ↩︎ ## Building and Customizing Iosevka as a Programming Font on macOS DevFeed: [Building and Customizing Iosevka as a Programming Font on macOS]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Kaushik Gopal Published: 2020-04-14T07:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Kaushik Gopal's Site]() Topics: [Font](), [Programming](), [macOS](), [Open Source](), [Homebrew]() Tags: [fonts](), [homebrew](), [ligatures](), [macos](), [npm](), [open-source](), [programming](), [programming-font]() ### AI overview The article explains why the author prefers Iosevka over IBM Plex Mono for programming, citing legibility, narrow spacing, open-source availability, customization, and ligatures. It also describes customizing glyphs and building a customized version from source on macOS using Homebrew, pip, and npm. ### Source excerpt If you're looking to just copy-paste instructions, jump to the section below. For the longest time, I've been rocking IBM Plex Mono as my programming font. While it has served me well, I started to experiment with some newer monospaced typefaces to see if I could find one that was even more legible.1 That experiment quickly devolved into a rabbit-hole evaluation of a bunch of new programming fonts. Hello Iosevka ## Eventually, I landed up with the font Iosevka: It's far more legible (courtesy the extra long glyphs) It's set pretty narrow which makes it pretty space efficient 2 It's 100% open-source You can build the font from source and customize it pretty extensively There's ligatures (...or not ...or dig this- for specific languages!) Now at the outset, I actually didn't like Iosevka at all. It was unbearably narrow for my taste but thankfully it also comes with an "Extended" variant. The extended variant adds a little more breathing room between characters making it less condensed. After I fiddled with it more and chose specific glyphs that are easier on my eyes, I think I landed up with a version that I absolutely love: It's more legible and dare I say a little more appealing than the trusty IBM Plex Mono .3 It almost hearkens back to my Inconsolata days (inspired by Gary Bernhardt's DAS screen casts). Customizing Iosevka ## Iosevka allows you to pick specific glyphs for certain characters. If you notice the cherry-picking section in the above image, I've chosen slightly different variants of g, l, y, G, Q, *, $ and %. If you head on over to the main website, you can even live preview and test a bunch of combinations. Build Iosevka from source (on macOS) ## Once you've indulged your stylistic tendencies and honed in on the style you prefer, you can build the font right from the source. I didn't find too many instructions online on how to do this with a Mac, so if you're looking to do the same, this should save you some trouble: Install necessary dependencies ### You
