    This is a fun, new monospaced font that includes programming ligatures and is designed to enhance the modern look and feel of the Windows Terminal.

    Caskaydia Cove is a fork of the Cascadia Code typeface with the RFN (Reserved Font Name) removed, plus small adjustments to conform to the Google Fonts spec.
