Source Code Pro (2012)
editSource Code Pro is a set of monospaced OpenType fonts designed to work well in coding environments. This family of fonts complements the Source Sans family and is available in seven weights: Extralight, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Black.
Changes from Source Sans Pro include:[1]
- Long x-height
- Dotted zero
- Redesigned i, j, and l
- Increased sizes of punctuation marks
- Optimized shapes of important characters like the greater- and less-than signs
- Adjusted heights of dashes and mathematical symbols improving alignment with each other
The font has been regularly upgraded since its first release. Italics styles were added in 2015, and variable formats were introduced in 2018.[2]
