The typeface shown in the screenshots is MD IO โ a nice monospace font I really like. You can get it from Future Fonts. I've also added some preferred typography-related settings, which you can get by adding the following to your settings.json
file.
// Controls the font family
"editor.fontFamily": "'MD IO 0.3', monospace",
// Controls the font size in pixels
"editor.fontSize": 18,
// Controls letter spacing in pixels
"editor.letterSpacing": -0.72,
// Controls the font weight
"editor.fontWeight": "400",
// Controls the line height. Use 0 to compute the line height from the font size
"editor.lineHeight": 34,
// Enables/Disables font ligatures
"editor.fontLigatures": true,
You can customize/override the AlterNight theme colors by adding the following theme-specific configuration to your settings file. For more advanced customization, refer to the corresponding VS Code Docs.
