MD IO is a clean monospace family designed for legibility, particularly at small sizes and on digital screens. MD IO isn’t exclusively a programming font, but it was designed from the beginning to be ideal for writing code.
Alongside a tall x-height and balanced proportions, IO’s relatively large ink traps help to maintain clarity at smaller pixel sizes. *In the italic styles, glyphs use a cursive-inspired construction for greater emphasis.*
A suite of subtle, accessibility-focused “ligatures” help to improve the spacing of glyphs, and therefore visual flow. In reality, these are actually *dynamic repositioning rules* — unlike ligatures, they’re compatible with both syntax highlighting and manual tracking (letter-spacing).
