What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Install as your code editor font to get ligatures that display character pairs like != and // as single connected symbols.

USE CASE 2

Enable the Nerd Font variant for terminal icon display in tools like Powerline, Starship, or oh-my-zsh themes.

USE CASE 3

Toggle individual font features to build a custom variant with or without cursive italics, ligatures, or specific symbol shapes.

In plain English

Maple Font (Maple Mono) is a free, open-source monospace font designed for use in code editors and terminal windows. Monospace fonts give every character the same width, which makes code easier to read because characters line up in predictable columns. Maple Mono goes further by adding rounded corners on characters, programming ligatures (visual shortcuts where character combinations like "!=" or "//" are displayed as a single connected symbol), and Nerd Font icons (a set of small symbols used in terminal tools and status bars). The font was inspired by Source Code Pro, Fira Code Retina, and similar fonts, but adds its own design choices: new shapes for symbols like "@", "#", and "&", a cursive italic style, improved centering of operators, and a smaller file size by including only the characters most programming work requires. It supports fine-grained customization, you can enable or disable individual font features to build your own variant. A version with Nerd Font icon support (Maple Mono NF) is available for terminal icon display. You would use Maple Mono as your editor or terminal font if you want a visually polished, ligature-supporting coding font with rounded aesthetics. It can be installed on macOS via Homebrew, on Arch Linux via paru, or downloaded from the releases page.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to install Maple Mono on macOS using Homebrew. What is the brew command and how do I set it as my default font in VS Code?

Prompt 2

How do I enable or disable specific OpenType features in Maple Mono, like turning off ligatures or switching the cursive italic style?

I am using Maple Mono NF in my terminal. How do I configure Nerd Font icon display in my shell prompt with Starship or oh-my-zsh?

Prompt 4

What is the difference between Maple Mono and Maple Mono NF, and which one should I install if I use a tiling terminal with Powerline glyphs?
