Source Code Pro (2012)
Source Code Pro is a set of monospaced OpenType fonts that have been designed to work well in coding environments. This family of fonts is a complementary design to the Source Sans family. It is available in six weights (Regular, ExtraLight, Light, Semibold, Bold, Black).
Changes from Source Sans Pro include:[2]
- Increasing height differences between upper and lowercase glyphs.
- Redesigned i, j, and l.
- Increased sizes of punctuation marks
- optimized the shapes of important characters like the greater- and less-than signs
- adjusted heights of dashes and mathematical symbols to improve alignment with each other
