The Sudo font family

Sudo is a font designed for terminals, programming, and user interfaces. Use at 13 pixels size for optimal results. It has a monospaced variant, simply called Sudo, and a proportional variant, called Sudo UI. A Variable Font version is available. It has an extra variation axis to modify the length of descenders.

Sudo decidedly has no ligatures, but supports all common Powerline glyphs out of the box.

About

Sudo was designed by Jens Kutílek, a graphic and type designer and font engineer based in Berlin.

Installation

Arch Linux

Sudo is available in the Arch User Repository as ttf-sudo.

pkg install sudo-font

macOS

Sudo is also available as a Homebrew package.

brew install --cask font-sudo

Building

If you want to modify the fonts, be aware that unlike in most in other font projects, this is a two-part process.

Any design changes should be made in the main design file sources-design/Sudo.glyphspackage, which contains both the monospaced (Sudo) and proportional (Sudo UI) subfamilies including Italics in one file.

To prepare the production sources in the sources directory, run the script scripts/Build Production Sources.py inside Glyphs while the design source file is open. This will split the design source file into two files, one for the monospaced and one for the proportional family, and save them in the sources directory.

The fonts are built from the sources in sources automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build the fonts manually using the Google Fonts build process on your own computer:

make build will produce font files.
make test will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.
make proof will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions - look at https://jenskutilek.github.io/sudo-font.git.
