About Cascadia Code

Cascadia is a fun new coding font that comes bundled with Windows Terminal, and is now the default font in Visual Studio as well.

Font Variants

Cascadia Code: standard version of Cascadia
Cascadia Mono: a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures
Cascadia (Code|Mono) PL: a version of Cascadia that has embedded Powerline symbols
Cascadia (Code|Mono) NF: a version of Cascadia that has Nerd Font symbols

For the italic, there is a standard italic and a cursive variant accessible via ss01 (see below).

Font features

Enabling stylistic sets will vary between applications. For example, in VS Code, you can enable stylistic sets (and other OpenType features) via settings.json:

"editor.fontLigatures": "'ss01', 'ss02', 'ss03', 'ss19', 'ss20'"

To enable the Cursive form of the italic, here's the code you should use:

"editor.fontLigatures": "'calt', 'ss01'",

If you're using an environment that does not support the ss01 OT feature, one option to consider is opentype-feature-freezer.

Installation

You can download the latest version of Cascadia Code from the releases page here: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases

Font formats:

ttf variable: we recommend this version for all users, and particularly those on Windows or any other OS that employs TrueType hinting. It offers the greatest diversity of weight options (anything from 200-700).
ttf static: in the rare situation where the above variable font version is not supported, or a singular weight is preferred to the entire range, static formats are supplied. However, please note they do not have the same degree of hinting quality as the variable font versions.
otf static: for users who prefer OTF format fonts, otf static instances are provided. At this time we do not have a variable font OTF version.
WOFF2: These versions are provided for the purposes of web use, and are available both as variable fonts, and static instances.

Once unzipped, right-click the font file and click Install for all users. This will install the font onto your machine.

👉 Note: If you have previously installed a version of Cascadia Code, please uninstall the previous version prior to installing a new version. Not doing so can result in improper rendering.

For more details and app-specific instructions, please check the wiki.
