About Oxygen Mono

Oxygen Mono is a monospaced sans serif in which every character occupies the same width. Vernon Adams drew it as the companion to Oxygen, the typeface made for the KDE project's user interface and branding, so the two can share a desktop. The specimen shows the details that matter in code: the zero carries a slash, the lowercase l ends in a curved tail, and the i stands on a slab-like foot that fills its cell and sets it apart from the numeral 1. The lowercase is tall, which keeps lines even. The family has one Regular style of 362 glyphs across the Latin and Latin Extended subsets and is not a variable font. Oxygen Mono is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Oxygen Mono works

Code editors and terminals

Fixed widths align indentation, while the slashed zero and tailed l separate 0 from O and l from 1.

Desktop interfaces alongside Oxygen

It was made as the monospace partner of the KDE interface face, for consoles and logs inside the same environment.

Code samples in documentation

One upright style is enough for inline snippets and command lines inside a page set in a proportional face.

Columns of figures

Equal character widths line numbers up in plain-text tables, receipts and log output.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use Oxygen Mono on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

@font-face {
  font-family: "Oxygen Mono";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/OxygenMono-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: "Oxygen Mono", monospace;
}

Or load it from the official source. Google Fonts serves Oxygen Mono with this markup:

Things to know

Regular only

Oxygen Mono has no bold and no italic, so syntax highlighting has to rely on colour.

Latin and Latin Extended

The 362 glyphs cover the two Latin subsets; no other scripts are included.

Reserved name

The license notice reserves the font name Oxygen, so a modified version needs a different name.
