Commit Mono is an open‑source monospaced typeface designed to enhance readability in code without drawing attention. It achieves this with:
- Neutral, legible design: Clean, minimal forms with no distracting high x‑heights, awkward ligatures, or over-stylization—making it ideal for prolonged coding use
- Smart kerning in a monospaced font: Characters subtly shift (e.g., ‘o’ moves between an ‘m’ and ‘i’) to improve spacing and visual rhythm, while preserving grid-alignment
- Rich customization: Offers 4+ weights, optional italics, variable-font support, adjustable spacing, line height, and custom-named variants to suit individual preferences
- Open Font License: Free for personal and commercial use under SIL OFL 1.1
