A terminal window on an Ubuntu desktop is where this font was meant to live. Ubuntu Sans Mono is the monospaced half of the Ubuntu font family that Canonical has funded since 2010, drawn first by Dalton Maag and extended in 2015 and in 2022 to 2023 with help from Type Network, David Jonathan Ross and Dual Type. Google added it in March 2024.

It starts at Regular. The 4 weights go Regular, Medium, Semi Bold, Bold, with an italic for each, and that suits code well: there is no hairline to go faint on a dark theme. The italics occupy exactly the same cells as the romans, so an italic comment never pushes a column out of line.

Language coverage follows Ubuntu’s view that software should work in the user’s own language. Greek and Cyrillic come with the extended Latin, 1,224 characters per style, which helps when a code comment or a string literal switches alphabets.

Set it at 14 px in a terminal, Medium if your screen is dark.
