Google Sans Code is an open-source fixed-width (monospace) font family designed for code editors and terminals, based on Google's brand type design aesthetic. The repository contains the font source files and build tooling to compile variable TTF binaries using the fontc font compiler.

Use cases

• install a readable monospace font for my code editor
• use a variable-weight coding font in my terminal
• build a custom variable font from glyphs source files
• find an open-source alternative to proprietary coding fonts
• improve character legibility at small font sizes in an IDE
• compile Roman and Italic variable fonts with fontc

When to choose

• you want a legible, brand-distinct monospace font for coding or terminals
• you need a variable font with a wide weight range (300-800) and OpenType features
• you want an OFL-licensed font you can freely install and redistribute

When to avoid

• you need a proportional (non-monospace) text or display font
• you need scripts beyond Extended Latin language coverage
• you want a finished font without building it yourself and prefer not to download release binaries
