Geist Mono
Geist Mono is a monospaced typeface that has been crafted to be the perfect partner to Geist Sans. It is designed to be used in code editors, diagrams, terminals, and other textbased interfaces where code is represented.

Version: 1.0.1
Which font?
TL;DR
- Pick your font family:
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with
Nerd Font Mono
(orNFM
). - If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without
Mono
i.e.Nerd Font
(orNF
). Most terminals support this, but ymmv. - If you work in a proportional context (GUI elements or edit a presentation etc) pick a font with
Nerd Font Propo
(orNFP
).
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with
Ligatures
Ligatures are generally preserved in the patched fonts.
Nerd Fonts v2.0.0
had no ligatures in the Nerd Font Mono
fonts, this has been dropped with v2.1.0
.
If you have a ligature-aware terminal and don't want ligatures you can (usually) disable them in the terminal settings.
Explanation
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (Droid Sans
, Inconsolata
, etc) and style (bold
, italic
, etc) you have 2 main choices:
Option 1: Download already patched font
- For a stable version download a font package from the release page
- Direct links for GeistMono.zip or GeistMono.tar.xz
Option 2: Patch your own font
- Patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (i.e. not include all symbols for smaller font size)
