Ever feel like code's punctuation is working against you? Frustrated when your -> looks nothing like arrow, or $, @, % seem ever mismatched? Want to experience the beauty of ligatures without losing the simplicity of ASCII. Want a font which in which you could speak in Haskell and Perl at the same time without noise? We've got just the font for you!

Myna (Gracula religiosa 🐦‍⬛) is a monospace font which aims to bring harmony to your editor by treating symbols as first-class citizens.

Myna is not designed from the scratch but steals some of the most beautiful features some of your favourite fonts to create a lovely experience.

Why Myna?

Here is why Myna stands apart from other fonts:

Symbol-First Design: clear emphasis on ASCII symbols which are ubiquitous in programming languages
Near-Perfect Alignment: multi-character symbols like ->, >>=, =~, :: align seamlessly
Balanced Weight: symbols have just the right visual weight against your code
Clear Distinction: no more confusing 1 l I | or 0 O o
Language Agnostic: clean sigils ($s @a %h &f *x) for Perl + elegant operators (:: -> <$> >>=) for Haskell + clear symbols (-> ++ -- += << >>) for C/C++
