Hack includes monospaced regular, bold, italic, and bold italic sets to cover all of your syntax highlighting needs. Over 1500 glyphs that include lovingly tuned extended Latin, modern Greek, and Cyrillic character sets. Powerline glyphs are included in the regular set. Patching is not necessary. Install and go. No frills. No gimmicks. Hack is hand groomed and optically balanced to be your go-to code face. Type design features to improve legibility in the harsh conditions of the screen. A libre typeface with generous licensing that permits modification & commercial use. Hack has deep roots in the libre, open source typeface community and includes the contributions of the Bitstream Vera & DejaVu projects. The face has been re-designed with an expanded glyph set, modifications of the original glyph shapes, and meticulous attention to metrics.
