Inconsolata was Raph Levien's first serious original font release.
|
|
It is a monospace font, designed for printed code listings and the like.
|
|
There are a great many “programmer fonts,” designed primarily for use on the screen, but in most cases do not have the attention to detail for high resolution rendering.

|
Inconsolata draws from many inspirations and sources.
|
|
I was particularly struck by the beauty of Luc(as) de Groot's Consolas, which is his monospaced design for Microsoft's Vista release.
|
|
This font, similar to his earlier TheSansMono, demonstrated clearly to me that monospaced fonts do not have to suck.

|
The development of the Regular style by Raph Levien was started in 2006 using his own Spiro-based tools and FontForge.
|
|
The Bold style was designed by Kirill Tkachev and the Cyreal foundry in 2012.
