I am looking for a font that provides coding ligatures, especially arrows, but which has a rather narrow appearance. Hence, could be a proportional font rather than a monospaced font.

  1. Font should be free to use for private purposes
  2. Coding ligatures should be similiar to Fira Code
  3. Sans serifs is preferred

Any ideas?

  • YOu could take a existing free font and add them.

  • There's a narrow font here called M+1M. I have no idea if it has font ligatures. The licence in the readme says you can use it for anything.

    @Bunjip nearly nobody is. But here you are not designing a font just a few characters. You can easily do it since this is a special case that has no convolutions at all. No special considerations to make. I dont think you have any other options. This is kindof a unique feature of Fira Code

    @ZachSaucier, Fira Code's readme explains it pretty well. Makings symbols out of common ascii character combinations. Not that I get it myself. If I started coding now, I might be into it, but it would be hard to get used to it now. Narrow version though, now that's weird.

"Narrow font with coding ligatures" sounds like the design brief for Iosevka.

  • Excellent suggestion, but the page you link to shows me an error only. The official page is on Github.
