What is it?

Maple Mono is an open-source monospace font aimed at code editors and terminals. It uses rounded corners, redesigns a set of glyphs such as @, $, %, & and Q, and includes a large set of programming ligatures that can be enabled or disabled.

The font is distributed in variable, TTF, OTF and WOFF2 formats, with optional Nerd Font patched builds that add terminal icons. A separate CN version, based on Resource Han Rounded, adds Simplified and Traditional Chinese and Japanese glyphs, with Chinese characters sized at a 2:1 ratio to Latin characters.

The build is configurable through config.json or command-line flags, covering OpenType feature freezing, a normal preset with a slashed zero, glyph width, line height, and hinted or unhinted base fonts. Builds can be run locally with Python, in Docker, through GitHub Actions, or in the browser playground.
