About Fira Code

Fira Code is a monospace typeface by Nikita Prokopov that extends Mozilla's Fira Mono with a carefully curated set of programming ligatures, turning multi-character sequences like arrows, comparisons, and operators into single fluid glyphs. The variable weight axis (wght) lets developers fine-tune stroke thickness without switching font files, and the face covers Cyrillic, Greek, and extended symbol ranges. It is the go-to choice for code editors and terminal emulators where ligature rendering is supported.

Typography Concepts

  • Ligature

    Two or more letters combined into a single glyph, like 'fi' or 'fl'. Common in serif fonts and coding fonts (e.g., Fira Code).

  • Monospace

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

  • OpenType

    A font format developed by Microsoft and Adobe supporting advanced typographic features like ligatures, alternates, and variable axes.
