↑ this terminal is set in Dylania — click it and type
Dylania keeps the proven proportions of the great coding fonts and re-draws everything else: fuller bowls, quiet disambiguation, seamless box drawing, and a true italic that never breaks the grid. No ligatures — by design.
A dotted zero, a flagged-and-tailed l, a serifed 1, a crossbarred I — no two share a distinguishing mark, so the classic confusables resolve at a glance, even at 11 px.
Every junction in U+2500–259F is drawn to meet its neighbors exactly — light, heavy, and double rails, blocks, shades, and the powerline triangles your prompt expects. tmux borders stay seamless.

Redrawn, not slanted: a single-story a, a descending tailed f, a gentle 9° angle — and every glyph holds the exact roman advance, so italic comments never push your columns.
Weight for hierarchy, italic for voice: dim your inactive panes in Light, set comments in Italic, let diffs shout in Bold — all from one drawing, all hinted for small sizes.
What you type is what you read: => stays an equals and a greater-than, spaced to read as one gesture. The effort went into composed spacing and four distinct delimiter silhouettes instead.
// unfused, and proud of it
=== !== -> => >= <>
() [] {} — curve, square, curly
xs.map((v, i) => ({ ...v, i }))
The dotted zero is the calm default. If you have fifteen years of slashed-zero muscle memory, ss01 flips every zero in the font — try it live.

Ligatures: nothing to disable — there are none.font_family Dylania Nerd Font. The plain family stays icon-free by design.Personality lives in the bowls and rhythm. Punctuation follows convention, because punctuation is infrastructure.
Tall x-height, oversized punctuation, 1.32 em line pitch baked into the metrics — drawn for grids, comfortable in prose.
Rounds overshoot, horizontals run 5% lighter, and every bowl-to-stem joint tapers so nothing clots on a dark theme.
Hardened through seven rounds of blind side-by-side evaluation against the fonts you already use. Read the full specimen.
