Isosevka is a very compact program for equal-width fonts

All versions include the same ranges of characters: Latin letters, Greek letters (including Polytonic Greek), some Cyrillic letters, IPA symbols and common punctuations and some symbols. You can check out the full list here.

Iosevka supports accessing all letter variants using OpenType features.

Iosevka’s default Ligation set is assigned to calt feature, though not all of them are enabled by default. Iosevka supports Language-Specific Ligations, which is the ligation set enabled only under certain languages. These ligation sets are assigned to custom feature tags, like XHS_.

You will find TTFs in the dist/ directory.

Iosevka comes with several visual styles, however they are inactive using the default build. To build these variants, you should perform custom build:

1. make custom-config [set=<name>] with the parameters listed below to create a configuration. The set=<name> part is optional, it will be set to custom when absent.
2. make custom [set=<name>] to acquire your custom font.
   • make custom-web [set=<name>] is for web fonts.

The first step, make custom-config takes following parameters to set styles of your custom build. All of them are optional, and would default to Iosevka’s default configuration:

• design='<styles>', styles for your custom font set.
• upright='<styles>', styles for uprights only.
• italic='<styles>', styles for italics only.
• oblique='<styles>', styles for obliques only.

You can add arbitary styles for these variables, for example, make custom-config upright='v-l-zshaped v-i-zshaped' && make custom will create a variant with Z-shaped letter l and i for uprights.

The current available styles are:

• Styles for general shape:
  • sans : Sans serif (default).
  • slab : Slab serif. When present, the family of your font would be Iosevka Slab.
• Styles related to ligations
  • term : Disable ligations. When this style is present, the font built will not contain ligatures, and its family name will be set to Iosevka Term. In case of your OS or editor cannot handle ligatures correctly, you can disable ligations with it.
