## What it is
iA-Fonts is a collection of free variable fonts (iA Writer Mono, Duo, and Quattro) released by Information Architects, derived from IBM's Plex typeface. The fonts are bundled with the iA Writer app and are available for creative use with attribution to iA Writer.

## Use cases
- find a duospace font for a writing app
- use iA Writer Mono in my own project
- download free variable fonts for coding
- pick a readable monospaced font for a text editor
- use Quattro font in a markdown editor
- fork a duospace typeface for design work

## When to choose
- you want the distinctive iA Writer Mono, Duo, or Quattro duospace fonts for free
- you need variable fonts suitable for writing or coding environments
- you are willing to clearly reference iA Writer when using or forking the fonts

## When to avoid
- you plan to clone iA Writer's products, website, or distribute knockoff plugins/themes, which iA explicitly forbids
- you need a font with a permissive license for commercial redistribution without attribution review
- you need a strictly monospaced font rather than a duospace one
