Creep is a compact 4px-wide bitmap pixel font designed for small screens, distributed as a BDF font. It includes box-drawing characters, powerline symbols, sparkline glyphs, braille patterns, and optional Haskell syntax sugar ligature-style characters.
Use cases
- a tiny readable font for an 11-inch laptop screen
- font with box-drawing characters for tmux splits and ncurses apps
- terminal font with powerline symbols for vim statusline
- font supporting sparkline and braille/drawille characters
- pixel font that makes Haskell code look nicer
When to choose
- you want an extremely compact bitmap font for small or low-DPI screens
- you need powerline, box-drawing, sparkline, or braille glyph support in a terminal font
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained font - the repo is no longer actively maintained
- you need scalable vector fonts or many export formats beyond BDF
- you want a modern pixel font with broader feature coverage - consider creep2, Cozette, or Spleen
