About Lilex

Lilex is a monospaced programming font built on the IBM Plex Mono foundation by Mike Abbink and Paul van der Laan, extended by Mikhael Khrustik with practical coding features including a comprehensive ligature set tailored to common programming operators. Seven weights along a variable axis give developers fine control over on-screen weight, and coverage spans Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese scripts alongside Latin. Its calm, structured character makes it a reliable choice for code editors, terminal emulators, and technical documentation.
