Scientifica is a tall, condensed bitmap font for programmers, based on creep, available in scalable TTF and raster OTB/BDF formats. It includes bold and italic variants, ligatures for Vim/Neovim, Powerline glyphs, and extended Unicode symbol coverage.
Use cases
- use a bitmap font on low dpi displays
- get a condensed monospace font for coding
- enable ligatures in vim or neovim
- get powerline glyphs in the terminal
- use a scalable ttf version of a bitmap font
When to choose
- you want a tall, condensed bitmap font optimized for 90-120 dpi displays
- you use vim/neovim and want ligature support
- you need powerline and box-drawing glyphs built into your font
When to avoid
- you need a high-resolution proportional or variable-width font
- you want ligatures outside of vim/neovim
- you need extensive international language coverage
