Lilex

Lilex copied to clipboard

Lilex is the modern programming font containing a set of ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations.

This is just a font rendering feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible. This helps to read and understand code faster. For some frequent sequences like .. or //, ligatures allow us to correct spacing like kerning pairs.

Compiled versions are available under releases.

Examples

JavaScript (JSX)

PHP

Go

C

Stylistic sets

Additional features are available in the font, which are disabled by default.

Build

At the moment building is possible on Ubuntu and macOS. First, install the build dependencies.
