About Victor Mono

Victor Mono is a monospaced family built around a set of requirements for writing code: narrow enough to fit long lines, wide enough to scan, strict in the upright and looser in the italic. The specimen shows slim letters with a high x-height, a serifed i and a hooked l that keep similar characters apart. The italics are an option of their own, a cursive whose letters partly connect, and the font includes ligatures that merge multi-character programming symbols into single shapes. Victor Mono is a variable font with a weight axis from 100 to 700; seven named weights and their italics make 14 styles. Its 1,471 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Vietnamese, Cyrillic and Greek. Rune Bjørnerås is the designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Victor Mono works

Code editors and terminals

Fixed-width, narrow letters fit more characters per line, and the tall x-height keeps small sizes readable.

Comments and keywords in italics

Editors that style comments or keywords in italic show them in the cursive, which stands apart from upright code.

Code samples in documentation

Ligatures turn arrows and comparison operators into single symbols in published snippets.

Tabular console output

Every character has the same width, so columns of figures and logs align.

Slides for technical talks

Thin to Bold gives room for highlighted lines beside dimmed context.

Things to know

Cursive italics

The italic is a semi-connected script-like design, not a slanted version of the upright.

Ligatures can be switched off

The programming ligatures are OpenType features; editors and CSS can disable them if separate characters are preferred.

Heaviest weight is Bold

The weight axis stops at 700; there is no ExtraBold or Black. The axis default is 100.
