Installation

Quit your editor/program. Unzip and open the folder.

  • Mac + Linux (with font-viewer) : Select the .ttf files and double click → Follow the on-screen guide.
  • Windows : Right click the .ttf files → Install.
  • Linux (manually) : Copy the .ttf files to your fonts-directory → Run sudo fc-cache.

Detailed Instructions

Building

To build Iosevka you should:

  1. Ensure that node, FontForge (≥ Aug. 2015 release), ttfautohint, ttx and make are runnable in your terminal.
  2. Install necessary libs by npm install
  3. make.

You will find ttfs in the build/ directory.

Build your own style

Styles Preview

Iosevka comes with several visual styles, however they are inactive using the default build. To build these variants you should use style variables in the make procedure:

  • STYLE_COMMON for both uprights and italics,
  • STYLE_UPRIGHT for uprights only, and
  • STYLE_ITALICS for itaics only.

You can add arbitary styles for these variables, for example, make STYLE_UPRIGHT='v-l-zshaped v-i-zshaped' to create a variant with Z-shaped letter l and i for uprights.

The current avaliable styles are:

  • Styles for letter l:
    • v-l-hooky : Hooky l
    • v-l-zshaped : Z-shaped l
    • v-l-serifed : Serifed l (default for upright subfamilies)
    • v-l-italic : Italic l (default for italic subfamilies)
  • Styles for letter i:
    • v-i-hooky : Hooky i
    • v-i-zshaped : Z-shaped i
    • v-i-serifed : Serifed i (default for upright subfamilies)
    • v-l-italic : Italic i (default for italic subfamilies)
