Cascadia Code is a modern monospaced font designed for coding, featuring programming ligatures and optional Powerline and Nerd Font symbols. It is bundled with Windows Terminal and available for all major operating systems.
Use cases
- display code with ligatures in VS Code
- use a programming font with Powerline symbols in a terminal
- embed a variable font in a web page via WOFF2
- install a readable monospaced font for Windows Terminal
- enable cursive italic forms for coding editors
When to choose
- you need a high-quality monospaced font with ligatures for coding
- you want built‑in Powerline or Nerd Font symbols without extra patches
- you prefer a variable TrueType font that works across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- you are customizing editor font settings and need OpenType feature support
When to avoid
- you require a fixed‑width bitmap font for legacy terminals
