While it inherits some of Cascadia’s structure, Caesium takes a more radical approach in design.\n\n![](images/demo.8.svg)\n\n## Downloads\n\nFont files are available in the `exported` folder. You can download the latest archive of the repo from the [release page](https://github.com/alphaArgon/Caesium/releases).\n\n## Design\n\nGlyph categories vary:\n\n- Lowercase letters: cursive with a 2° slant.\n- Uppercase letters: roman with a 1° slant.\n- Symbols and digits: upright.\n\n![](images/demo.1.svg)\n\nThis gives Caesium rhythm, brings characters a script-like feel, and improves legibility.\n\n### Cursiveness\n\nBy default, Caesium doesn’t fully adopt cursive forms. For example, ⟨a⟩ and ⟨g⟩ are two-storey (or maybe 1.5-storey?), giving letters unique shapes and improves the differentiation between similar characters.\n\n![](images/demo.3.svg)\n\nWith the OpenType feature `ss01` enabled, or by default in *italic* subfamilies (though they can hardly be called *orthodox* italics), more letters become cursive. The OpenType feature `ss02` can be used to revert cursive `italics`, as well as make ⟨z⟩ more distinguishable from ⟨3⟩.\n\n![](images/demo.7.svg)\n\n### Weight Mapping\n\nCaesium’s default weight (Regular) is lighter than Cascadia’s; it aligns better with other fonts. To replicate Cascadia’s original Regular weight, use Caesium Thick.\n\n![](images/demo.2.svg)\n\n\n### Coding Ligatures\n\nThe author is not a big fan of coding ligatures, so Caesium doesn’t include them. However, for consistency with digits, ⟨x⟩ and ⟨b⟩ turn into roman forms when part of integer literals.\n\n![](images/demo.4.svg)\n\n### Misc Optimization\n\n- Enlarged, dot‑like punctuation.\n- Curved commas and quotation marks.\n- Dashed zeros (including super/subscripts).\n\n![](images/demo.5.svg)\n\n## Character Coverage\n\n- Adobe Latin 2.\n- Adobe Greek 1.\n- Box drawings.\n- Block elements.\n- [Fish git prompt symbols](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/doc_src/cmds/fish_git_prompt.rst).\n- Recrafted arrows and keyboard symbols.\n\n![](images/demo.9.svg)\n\n## Demo in Use\n\n![](images/demo.10.svg)\u003cbr\u003e(This theme is called [Aqua](https://github.com/alphaArgon/AquaTheme).)\n\n## Fallback and Pairing\n\nIt’s recommended to use the original Cascadia as a fallback for Latin/Cyrillic/Arabic characters, and [方正巴龙草书黑体](https://www.foundertype.com/index.php/FontInfo/index/id/12299) for Han.\n\n![](images/demo.6.svg)\n\n## License\n\nCaesium is distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
