Design
Bloxwap Mono uses the same skeletons as Bloxwap Sans, fitted to a 600-unit cell. Narrow letters (i l r j) get rounded slabs so they fill the cell; wide letters (M W m w) are condensed with slightly lighter strokes so they do not look darker than the rest of a line.
Characters that are easy to confuse in code are distinct: 0 and O, 1, l and I, and rn and m.
Code ligatures
Contextual alternates (calt) join common operator sequences into single shapes. Every ligature is exactly as wide as the characters it replaces, so alignment, cursor movement and column counts are unchanged.
| Sequences |
|---|
!= !== == === <= >= <=> |
-> <- <-> --> <-- => |
:: <> <| |> || |
Ligatures are on by default. Turn them off with font-variant-ligatures: none (or font-feature-settings: "calt" 0). The OpenType features page shows each one live.
Box drawing and blocks
Mono includes the box-drawing and block-element ranges for terminal UIs and text tables. Set a tight line height (around 1.2) so vertical lines connect:
