Hack

Build Status Contributors

A typeface designed for source code

Hack is designed to be a workhorse typeface for source code. It has deep roots in the libre, open source typeface community and expands upon the contributions of the Bitstream Vera & DejaVu projects. The large x-height + wide aperture + low contrast design make it legible at commonly used source code text sizes with a sweet spot that runs in the 8px - 14px range. The full set of changes to the upstream source are available in the changelog.

The project is in active development and we welcome your input and contributions. You may view our design objectives and contributing instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Contents

The font binaries are released under a license that permits unlimited print, desktop, and web use for commercial and non-commercial applications. The source is released in the widely supported UFO source format (an XML formatted typeface source). We support and highly encourage the development of derivative downstream typeface projects from the Hack source. For additional details about licensing, please see LICENSE.md.

Quick installation

NOTE ON FONT UPDATES If you are updating your version of Hack, be sure to remove the previously installed version and clear your font cache first to avoid conflicts that can lead to platform-specific rendering errors. Many platforms/distros offer package managers that automate this process. We release a Windows installer to automate the install/update process on the Windows platform. See below for additional details.

Mac OS X and Linux

  1. Download the latest version of Hack.
  2. Extract the files from the archive (.zip) and click to open them.
  3. Follow the instructions from your operating system.
  4. Enjoy!

Windows

To simplify the installation process on Windows systems, we've created the Hack Windows Installer which will guide you through the installation process. This installer addresses a number of common rendering issues that occur with font installs/updates on the Windows platform and is the recommended approach for Windows users.

Chrome/ChromeOS

To use with Secure Shell, edit the following fields in Options:

  • font-family: "Hack"
  • user-css: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/font-hack/2.020/css/hack-extended.min.css

Package managers

We highly recommend the convenience of a community developed package manager or other auto-updating utility if this is available on your platform. While the package manager releases may be a bit delayed relative to the repository releases, the packages distributed through these package managers were designed to tune and automate font installs and updates on your system. Please note that the Hack project team does not manage/maintain these packages. For installation issues with Hack packages, please contact the package maintainer directly.

We are aware of Hack support in the following package managers (with associated package names):

  • Arch Linux: ttf-hack
  • Chocolatey (Windows): hackfont
  • Debian: fonts-hack-ttf
  • Fedora / CentOS: dnf-plugins-core :: heliocastro/hack-fonts :: hack-fonts
  • Gentoo Linux: media-fonts/hack
  • Homebrew Cask (OS X): caskroom/fonts/font-hack
  • OpenSUSE: hack-fonts
  • Ubuntu: fonts-hack-ttf
  • Visual Studio Package Manager: hack.font

Details on package manager use and advanced manual desktop installation options can be found in INSTALLATION.md.

Web font usage

Hack is available in the woff and woff2 web font formats. See WEBFONT_USAGE.md for more details, or use the snippets below to quickly include Hack via a CDN (thanks to the generous gang at jsDelivr). Bold and italic styles are included by default and work out-of-the-box via the <strong> and <em> tags.

1. Add Hack to HTML

Include one of the following in the <head> section of your HTML file:

Subset web fonts

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/font-hack/2.020/css/hack.min.css">

Full character set web fonts

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/font-hack/2.020/css/hack-extended.min.css">

2. Add Hack to CSS

pre, code { font-family: Hack, monospace; }

Additional tools for Hack font customization

Line Spacing Adjustments

font-line is a tool that lets you easily modify the default line spacing of Hack (20% UPM). See the font-line repository for more details, and be sure to check out the line-spacing directory of the repository for shell scripts that automate the entire process across several commonly used line spacing defaults.
