## What it is
Agave is a fixed-width (monospace) outline typeface family designed for development environments and terminals, with a geometrically regular and simple style inspired by old console bitmap fonts. It is distributed as TTF files under the SIL Open Font License, with Regular and Bold variants offering dotted or slashed zero options.

## Use cases
- find a monospace font for my code editor
- install a programming font for my terminal
- font with dotted zero and slashed zero variants
- retro-style monospaced typeface for coding
- free open-source font for IDE
- monospace font with cyrillic and greek glyph support

## When to choose
- you want a geometric, retro-quirky monospace font for terminals or editors
- you need broad glyph coverage including latin extended, greek, cyrillic, IPA, math, box-drawing, braille, and powerline glyphs
- you prefer an OFL-licensed font you can freely install and redistribute

## When to avoid
- you need a complete bold or italic weight for all glyph ranges (bold covers only ASCII; italic is not ready)
- you want a font with active multi-contributor development, since it is a hobby project maintained by one designer
- you need proportional or display typography rather than fixed-width

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: font, typeface, monospace, programming-font, terminal, open-font-license
