# Rec Mono for Code
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Recursive Mono** or **Rec Mono** is a variable type family built
|
|||
|
|
for better code and UI. It is inspired by casual script signpainting,
|
|||
|
|
but designed primarily to meet the needs of programming environments
|
|||
|
|
and application interfaces.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For more information have a look at the upstream website: https://github.com/arrowtype/recursive/
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Rec Mono Duotone
|
|||
|
|
A personal favorite – this use the Linear style for Regular text and
|
|||
|
|
Casual styles for Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic text. In many themes
|
|||
|
|
that use italic styles, this will give most code a utilitarian look,
|
|||
|
|
but set comments, some keywords, and certain headlines in the
|
|||
|
|
more-handwritten Casual style.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Rec Mono Linear
|
|||
|
|
An everyday workhorse for code. Slightly-boxy shapes maximize legibility
|
|||
|
|
while maintaining a standard monospace width, while a few quirks add a
|
|||
|
|
little bit of extra personality and differentiation between
|
|||
|
|
similarly-shaped characters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Rec Mono Casual
|
|||
|
|
A party in a font. Fun and wacky shapes, simplified enough for small sizes
|
|||
|
|
but curvy enough to have plenty of character. Best in casual coding and
|
|||
|
|
non-primary terminals.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Rec Mono SemiCasual
|
|||
|
|
Sets the CASL axis at `0.5` for font that is serious but softened a
|
|||
|
|
little bit. This isn't the best choice for text at large sizes (like
|
|||
|
|
headlines on a website), but can be a really nice balance in code.

## 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` (or `NFM`).
|
|||
|
|
* If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without `Mono` i.e. `Nerd Font` (or `NF`). 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` (or `NFP`).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 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](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases)
|
|||
|
|
* Direct links for [Recursive.zip](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/Recursive.zip) or [Recursive.tar.xz](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/Recursive.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)
