Monocraft

The font for developers who like Minecraft a bit too much.

Notice: This project is not affiliated with Minecraft or Mojang in any way and is exclusively a fan project. This font emulates the typeface of the font used in the Minecraft UI, but it does not include any assets or font files from the original game.

Features

  • Minecraft!
    • The characters in this font were based around the typeface used in the Minecraft UI, with a select few glyphs updated for better readability and spacing
  • Monospaced!
    • Each character has been carefully redesigned to work in a monospaced font
    • Thin characters like "i" and "l" have been reworked with tasteful tails and serifs to look better in a monospaced environment
  • Programming ligatures!
    • Add some spice to your programming life with all new ligature characters
    • Arrows now look like arrows and comparison operators are easier to see at a glance

What if I want to use a font that's actually good?

Understandable, check out Fira Code for a font with amazing attention to detail, or Scientifica for a bitmap font similar to this.
