JetBrains Mono

A typeface made for developers.
More about font features & design can be found on its page.

By default, JetBrains Mono includes ligatures. The version without ligatures is called JetBrains Mono NL and can be found here. This version is also stripped of all OpenType features, since they don't have any effect when your IDE doesn't support OpenType.

If your IDE supports OpenType we recommend installing the default version of the font. If you prefer not using ligatures you can turn them off manually in the settings.

The most recent version of JetBrains Mono ships with your JetBrains IDE starting with v2019.3.
