## About the Monaspace coding font

A font family released by GitHub in 2023. Monaspace is a free monospace coding font with programming ligatures.

Monaspace is not hosted on Google Fonts. The specimen above renders in the real face when the font is installed on your device; if it is not installed, the page falls back to a standard monospace face so the layout stays intact. It is one of the 15 CodeFont Top Picks.
