## What it is
Monoid is a customizable open-source coding font with ligatures, stylistic alternates, and contextual positioning, optimized for crisp rendering at small sizes. The repository contains the font source files and build tooling, editable with FontForge.

## Use cases
- find a monospaced font with ligatures for my code editor
- customize a coding font with alternate glyphs
- crisp terminal font readable at 12px
- font with contextual positioning for programming
- build a custom programming font from source

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source coding font with ligature support
- you need stylistic alternates and customization options in a monospace font
- you edit fonts and want a FontForge-based source to fork

## When to avoid
- your editor or terminal does not support calt/liga ligatures
- you need a font with an active release cadence or official license file
- you need a proportional or display typeface rather than monospace

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: coding-font, ligatures, typography, fontforge, open-source-font
