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
