Source Code Pro Category Sans-serif, Monospace Designer Paul D. Hunt Foundry Adobe Systems Date created 2012 License SIL Open Font License Design based on Source Sans

**Source Code Pro** is a monospaced sans serif [typeface](/source/Typeface) created by [Paul D. Hunt](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_D._Hunt&action=edit&redlink=1) for [Adobe Systems](/source/Adobe_Systems). It is the second [open-source](/source/Open-source_license) font family from Adobe, distributed under the [SIL Open Font License](/source/SIL_Open_Font_License).[1]

## Source Code Pro (2012)

Source Code Pro is a set of monospaced OpenType fonts designed to work well in [coding](/source/Computer_programming) environments. This family of fonts complements the [Source Sans](/source/Source_Sans_Pro) family and is available in seven weights: Extralight, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Black.

Changes from Source Sans Pro include:[1]

- Long x-height

- [Dotted zero](/source/Dotted_zero)

- Redesigned i, j, and l

- Increased sizes of punctuation marks

- Optimized shapes of important characters like the greater- and less-than signs

- Adjusted heights of dashes and mathematical symbols improving alignment with each other

The font has been regularly upgraded since its first release. Italics styles were added in 2015, and [variable](/source/Variable_fonts) formats were introduced in 2018.[2]
