JetBrains Mono is a free, open-source monospaced typeface designed specifically for developers, featuring increased x-height and programming ligatures. It ships bundled with JetBrains IDEs and can be installed standalone on any OS or editor.
Use cases
- install a coding font for my terminal
- monospace font with programming ligatures for VS Code
- best font for reading code in an IDE
- free open-source developer typeface
- font with high x-height for long coding sessions
- set up JetBrains Mono in my editor
When to choose
- you want a modern, readable monospaced font tuned for code
- you use a JetBrains IDE where it is bundled by default
- you want optional OpenType ligatures that can be toggled on or off
When to avoid
- you need a proportional (non-monospaced) font for documents or UI
- your environment lacks OpenType support and you dislike the NL variant
- you prefer a different aesthetic such as serif or bitmap fonts
