Departure Mono



Departure Mono


A monospaced pixel font with a lo-fi technical vibe

## About

Departure Mono is a monospaced pixel font inspired by the constraints of early command-line and graphical user interfaces, the tiny pixel fonts of the late 90s/early 00s, and sci-fi concepts from film and television.

## Installation

### Homebrew

For macOS users, the [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) package manager can be used to install and upgrade the font using the [`font-departure-mono`](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/font-departure-mono#default) formula:

```sh
brew install font-departure-mono
```

### Nix

If you're using the [Nix](https://nixos.org) package manager or NixOS, you can install font using its canonical name: [`departure-mono`](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=departure-mono&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=departure-mono):

```sh
# Here's an example on how to install it using `nix profile`
nix profile install github:NixOS/nixpkgs#departure-mono
# Here's an example on how to install it using `nix-env`
nix-env -iA nixos.departure-mono
```

### NixOS

For [NixOS](https://nixos.org) users, you can add the font to your system configuration by including it in `fonts.packages`:

```nix
{
fonts.packages = [
pkgs.departure-mono
];
}
```

### Manual

Download the latest release from the [releases](https://github.com/rektdeckard/departure-mono/releases/latest) page.

## Usage

For pixel-perfect results, set the font size to increments of 11px.

Experiment with tighter tracking (letter-spacing) for a more comfortable read in some cases — or wider tracking for a sci-fi effect.
