About JetBrains Mono

Developed in-house by JetBrains, this monospace typeface was engineered specifically for long programming sessions, with increased letter height, reduced eye strain through wider letterforms, and 138 programming ligatures that merge common operator pairs into clean single glyphs. The variable weight axis covers eight steps, and the typeface supports Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese in addition to Latin. Its technical precision and readability under syntax highlighting have made it a preferred choice among developers worldwide.

    A typeface where every character occupies the same horizontal width. Essential for code editors and tabular data.

  • Font Stack

    An ordered list of fonts in CSS font-family, providing fallbacks if the preferred font is unavailable. E.g., 'Inter, system-ui, sans-serif'.
