Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • monaspace

    An innovative superfamily of fonts for code

  • FiraCode

    Free monospaced font with programming ligatures

  • I was the same until I started using Fira Code and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. the ligatures are worth it

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pragmatapro

    PragmataPro font is designed to help pros to work better

  • One alternative you could consider is narrow fonts like Pragmata[1] (commercial) or Iosevka[2] (gratis, FOSS). Being able to fit more stuff onto you screen side-by-side is what enabled me to get as much into tmux as I am now.

  • source-code-pro

    Monospaced font family for user interface and coding environments

  • Hack is very underrated and awesome. Fira Code is nice, so is Adobe Source Code Pro [0], and Iosevka [1]. Yet, Berkeley is truly at its own level.

  • JetBrainsMono

    JetBrains Mono – the free and open-source typeface for developers

  • > Maybe there is now

    You’re right! Check out the NL (no ligature) version: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/tree/master/fonts...

  • Sarasa-Gothic

    Sarasa Gothic / 更纱黑体 / 更紗黑體 / 更紗ゴシック / 사라사 고딕

  • You could try Sarasa Gothic, which is made by the same person who made Iosevka.

  • nerd-fonts

    Iconic font aggregator, collection, & patcher. 3,600+ icons, 50+ patched fonts: Hack, Source Code Pro, more. Glyph collections: Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Octicons, & more

  • It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.

    Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
