About JetBrains Mono

JetBrains Mono is a monospace typeface built around the needs of people who read and write code. Every character has the same width; the lowercase is tall in relation to the capitals, and the shapes follow a simple, rectangular rhythm. Characters that are easily confused are kept apart: the zero has a mark inside its counter, the capital I carries serifs, and the lowercase l ends in a tail to the right. Roman and italic are separate variable fonts with a weight axis from 100 to 800, giving eight weights from Thin to ExtraBold and 16 styles. The fonts contain 1,168 glyphs and cover Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese. Philipp Nurullin and Konstantin Bulenkov are the designers, JetBrains is named as manufacturer, and the family was added to Google Fonts in 2020.

Where JetBrains Mono works

IDEs and code editors

A tall lowercase and distinct 0, O, I and l make long sessions of reading identifiers less error-prone.

Terminals and consoles

Fixed character widths keep command output, tables and ASCII diagrams aligned.

Code blocks in documentation

A real italic is included, so comments or placeholders can be set in italic without a synthetic slant.

Slides that show code

SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold keep snippets visible on a projector, and all weights share the same character width.

Comments and strings in other scripts

Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese characters are part of the font, so non-English comments stay monospaced.
