A Cambridge PhD student just broke every typography rule. And it works.
His entire thesis: just 2 fonts. PragmataPro and Georgia.
The pairing shouldn’t work. But somehow it’s perfect.
Would you have thought of this combo?
Edward William Ayers thesis typeset in Georgia and PragmataPro
Golova AI showcases its brand with PragmataPro as the default typeface across its app, websites (golova.ai, golova.one, golova.io, golova.help) and social networks. The combination of this font with their geometric and minimalistic illustrations creates an impressive visual identity that enhances user engagement and brand recognition.
Rive’s code editor now includes PragmataPro as the default programming font.
Rive saves developers the hassle of font setup and delivers a professional coding environment from the start.
On the PragmataPro Semiotics page you can search through 13,427 symbols, all identified and named manually.
Each glyph can be found by name and codepoint or copied directly.
A useful tool for those working with code, design, or technical texts who want quick access to the font’s complete Unicode set.
These are the Unicode ranges included:
A new PragmataPro and PragmataPro Variable update includes important fixes:
► OpenType feature ss15 Tags uses language keywords only; to apply Reversed background to text enclosed in [ ] use OT feature ss20
► Nerd fonts included are updated to version 3.0 and improved for Mono versions too.
► Numbers was added to ss08, ss09, ss10 and ss16 OT features.
► =>>> and <<<= ligatures for Verilog/SystemVerilog language added.
► ;; ;;; ;;;; and ;;;;; ligatures for Lisp added.
► =!= ligature added.
► === ligature becomes three lines, !== and =/= ligature becomes slashed thee lines enabling cv04 OT feature.
► <= ligatures becomes a equal with arrow shape pointing left enabling cv05 OT feature.

Do you want to use the Serif Italic instead of the default Italic?
Now is possible to customize PragmataPro, and other fonts, using OpenType features via OpenType Feature Freezer
A very useful tool, available also as command-line, designed by Adam Twardoch and others that freeze OpenType features to fonts, by remapping their Unicode assignments.
usage: pyftfeatfreeze [-h] [-f FEATURES] [-s SCRIPT] [-l LANG] [-z] [-S]
[-U USESUFFIX] [-R REPLACENAMES] [-i] [-r] [-n] [-v]
[-V]
inpath [outpath]
With pyftfeatfreeze you can "freeze" some OpenType features into a font. These
features are then "on by default", even in apps that don't support OpenType
features. Internally, the tool remaps the "cmap" table of the font by applying
the specified GSUB features. Only single and alternate substitutions are
supported.
positional arguments:
inpath input .otf or .ttf font file
outpath output .otf or .ttf font file (optional)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
options to control feature freezing:
-f FEATURES, --features FEATURES
comma-separated list of OpenType feature tags, e.g.
'smcp,c2sc,onum'
-s SCRIPT, --script SCRIPT
OpenType script tag, e.g. 'cyrl' (default: 'latn')
-l LANG, --lang LANG OpenType language tag, e.g. 'SRB ' (optional)
-z, --zapnames zap glyphnames from the font ('post' table version 3,
.ttf only)
options to control font renaming:
-S, --suffix add a suffix to the font family name (by default, the
suffix will be constructed from the OpenType feature
tags)
-U USESUFFIX, --usesuffix USESUFFIX
use a custom suffix when --suffix is provided
-R REPLACENAMES, --replacenames REPLACENAMES
search for strings in the font naming tables and
replace them, format is
'search1/replace1,search2/replace2,...'
-i, --info update font version string
reporting options:
-r, --report report languages, scripts and features in font
-n, --names output names of remapped glyphs during processing
-v, --verbose print additional information during processing
-V, --version show program's version number and exit

After it’s done you will find new .ttf files which will end with _script.ttf. Install them and you’re good to go. Remember to kill and relaunch your IDE or Terminal so it recognizes new font files.
To understand better how OT features works on PragmataPro I suggest to take a look at PragmataPro Handbook
Thanks to Aaron Madlon-Kay my PragmataPro Semiotics reached another level!
https://fabrizioschiavi.github.io/pragmatapro-semiotics/
Type a keyword to find one of the 12,000 symbols included in PragmataPro
Starting today, PragmataPro has an even more comfortable readability!
Try to believe!

Under the numerous requests of expansion of the essential set, I finally completed the PragmataPro Fraktur typeface.
I designed numbers, lowercase numbers are default but uppercase ones are available via OpenType feature Lining Figures (lnum).s lowercase is available also in historical version enabling OpenType feature Historical Forms (hist)
The set includes for the first time, I suppose, the unreleased design for Fraktur alphabets of glyphs like currency symbols (€ $ £ ¢ ¥) the ampersand (&) etc.
I designed all these unseen before glyphs in Fraktur using the priciples used in the Middle Ages: slants of the parts of the outlines (55° and 72°), variable weights of these parts and modular horizontal rhythm.
I also designed ligatures to improve the readability and to respect North European tradition.
There are two kind of hyphen, endash, emdash and equal: default ones at 55° and the alternative at 0°, enabling using OpenType Stylistic Set 01 feature (ss01).
If you are interested to see more about this upgrade visit PragmataPro Fraktur page.
This version coming from my experience as web developer.
Often I exchanged colon (:) with semicolon (;) and sometime I had the suspect that L lowercase can be more distinguished using a new design. After this redesign I can work now more sure to avoid misinterpretations.
It’s possible to enable it using Pragmata Pro™ with OpenType Stylistic Set 13 named ‘git tree’.
Every slash and backslash, at specific conditions, will appears with curly terminations even with Italic versions.
From now coders can see a more nice Git tree in their command line editor
Ligatures helps a lot the programmers. Now the help is increased!
Cyrillic set now includes also Bulgarian and Serbian characters
— Regular: Soft dotted improved and Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols glyphs can be accented
like other standard letters using Combining Diacritical Marks set
— Regular: improved the design of APL glyphs
— Regular: improved the design of Mathematical Operators
— Regular: BQN programming glyphs like
˜˘•÷׬⎉⚇⍟◶⊘⎊⍎⍕⟨⟩√⋆⌽∊↑∧⊔⊏⊐π←↙⍷⍋⊑⊒⍳⊣⊢⍉↕⊸∘○⟜⋄↩↖⌾⥊↓∨⌊⍒⌈≢≤≥⇐… are improved by design
— Regular: added curly arrows ︎↖︎↗ ↙↘︎ ↘︎↙ ↗↖︎ ligature coming from ↘︎ ↖︎ ↗ ↙ diagonal arrows combinations
— Regular: Geometric Shapes set are more distinguished at small sizes
— Regular: added Combining Diacritical Marks Extended and Combining Diacritical Marks Supplemental set
— all weights: checkmarks appears by default from now, no more from Stylistic Set ss12
— all weights: added Creative Commons glyphs and harmonized © copyright sign also
— all weights: added Hellschreiber pause symbol
— all weights: improved design and positioning of Graphics for Legacy Computing symbols

Amazing use of my typeface PragmataPro by Rai, the public Italian TV broadcast, to promote the 50th Internet Day.
Art director: Roberto Bagatti
Happy Internet Day to all!
From now your web page can supports HTML5 entities without worries with Pragmata Pro because it’s one of the rarest fonts that can do this.
HTML5 requires also some weird combined characters hard to find.
Click here to see the entire HTML 5 list set in PragmataPro™
Pragmata Pro™ is the first monospaced typeface offering ‘Graphic for Legacy Computing’ Unicode set. All these glyphs coming from Teletext, Atari and Comodore 64 system.
These symbols converted as text are designed to build images. Practically is a ‘Block Elements’ set extension.
I love the design of Runic letters and, after the request of a user, I’ve added them with pleasure to PragmataPro
PragmataPro Runic is the first monospaced Runic of all time
# TODO, # ERROR and other useful programming ligatures
Do you remember [TODO], [ERROR]… ligatures?
The same trick was extended also # TODO, # ERROR…
The position of the arrows or geometric shapes like triangles are now correct when them are next to Box Drawing symbols.
Since v_0.828 diagrams and schemas are now more consistent
PragmataPro Arabic diacritics are combinable with Arabic script
— Regular: ‘Greek’, ‘Cyrillic’,’Latin Extended-A’ and ‘Latin Extended-B’ sets
are combinable with ‘Combining Diacritical Marks’
— all weights: added these new ligatures:->- -<- =>= =<=
— all weights: added and updated new Nerd symbols from Nerd font
— Regular: improved the design of л (el), м (em), н (en), ģ (gcommaccent)
— Regular: improved the design of some ‘Mathematical Operators’ and ‘Miscellaneous Technical’ glyphs to improve APL programming
— Bold, Italic and Bold Italic: added ‘Latin Extended-B’ and ‘Latin Extended Additional’ sets
— all weights: added the glyphs set by two numbers ‘Enclosed Alphanumerics’ like 11, 12, 13… 20

With the help of @kelas and other good friends of Pragmata Pro from the open source community, version 0.827 comes with a brand new ligature substitution engine which is 10-20x faster than before, depending on the input.
Now Pragmata Pro, with its 9437 glyphs, can be loaded in a few µs.
Practically a giant who run like a cheetah!
Pragmata Pro™ is the first monospaced typeface to offer precise glyph positioning in common programming keywords, enabled by default in editors that support OpenType GPOS table.
The consistency and orthogonality of fixed pitch is now combined with the finesse of a proportional font.
The result is less tiring, aesthetically pleasing coding experience.
Your eye will know the difference before you do.
In all the weights of all the versions.
At the moment only in Regular versions. In the next releases the same marking system will be added to all the weights and also in Arabic alphabet.
Markdown checklist ligatures are available enabling OpenType Stylistic Set 12 in your editor and are based on these combinations:
- [ ] - [-] - [v] - [x]
Marks are often used in Phonetics texts and Mathematical formulas.
Since this version they are in their right place.
— all weights: problems with some terminal emulators have been resolved
— all weights: added these ligatures:
|- turnstile like
||- double turnstile like
_|_ bottom like
=~= <-< >-> <--> <== <<== ==>>
— all weights: vertical position of * (asterisk) are aligned to x-height
— Regular: improved TrueType hinting of → ← ↑ ↓ # { } / \
— Regular: improved the consistency between Mathematical Operators and Miscellaneous Technical set
— Bold, Italic and Bold Italic: added IPA characters and its extensions
— all weights: typing us after numbers and space will appears microsecond µs in serif variant

I’m working at the PragmataPro 0.827 release and in order to fixing the slowdown of Terminal with the complete PragmataPro issue I’ll include in the package also Essential PragmataPro with the characters and symbols essential for programming.
For this I need your help in identify the very essential Unicode characters for this new Essential version.
Please select the Unicode Ranges and the OpenType features you feel essential or contact me directly if you prefer
Thanks for your time!
PragmataPro Live is the exhibition of the first set of 9,000 glyphs of the Regular weight printed on a Forex panel of 21 meters folded into a big spiral.
PragmataPro exhibition is hosted by Aiap at the first floor of Palazzo Poli, the palace where was build Trevi Fountain in Rome and it’s visible until October 1, 2017
My son surprised me with this video, a creative live installation of PragmataPro, where a roller coaster winds through the hints shaped by the font’s large spiral. What a wonderful surprise! ❤️
The PragmataPro complete pack includes two folders: Fonts with ligatures and Fonts without ligatures
Both folders includes two kind of fonts grouped as Modularspaced and Monospaced.
The goal is to fit the need to have Modularspaced fonts without ligatures, Monospaced fonts with ligatures.
Two situations impossible to get before.
Now the entire set of ligatures has reached 177 for every weight (Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic)!
Thanks to the help of abrudz now PragmataPro has more consistent APL symbols
— Regular and Italic: improved the TrueType hinting
— all weights: ligatures are now more compatible with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA

Some month ago Dmtri Nesteruk wrote me an email with a sketched good idea: to add a bullet to some used box drawing glyphs. The result is very interesting! By now also a lot of graphic designers can be rethink the use of box drawing.
The entire map of the metro of Milan I redesigned using this exclusive box drawing method
Perfect also for text only diagrams
[FIXME] [TODO] [BUG] [NOTE] [HACK] [MARK] ligatures to emphasize important messages in command lineAfter all these notifications I suppose now has all the command line messages emphasized
Nerd font contents a lot icons useful to Vim users. More info: http://nerdfonts.com/
PragmataPro can interact more better with other CJK fonts.
— Regular: added power symbols to Miscellaneous Technical set
— all weights: improved the TrueType hinting above all for Microsoft Windows
— all weights: added :<: :>: ligatures for Scala
— all weights: added :) :-) :( :-( :D :P :3 ligatures for text chatting

Today I released on GitHub my idea of a trading chart based on Terminal or other command line applications.
The mixing of volumes data and prices data:
│ (Unicode U+2502) = small volumes
┃ (Unicode U+2503) = medium volumes
█ (Unicode U+2588) = big volumes
Red and green colors are used to have a more clear idea visually of the percentage of selling and buying contracts referred on a defined time.
The simplification of the chart through a small grid helps to find the right moment for investing.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in using this unprecedented chart system
Feedbacks are welcome

There are a lot of changes in the version 0.822 of PragmataPro:
All the glyphs are been scaled to exactly 0.5 em² wide (= 1024-unit em) so they are compatible with CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters, where every character are exactly 1 em² wide (= 2048 unit)
PragmataPro is now the first modular/monospaced font of the history that includes all these arrows.
You can see all from my Github repository named ‘Arrow Finder’
It’s been improved the design of U+2200 – U+22FF Mathematical Operators set
added the U+2980 – U+29FF Misc. Mathematical Symbols-B set
added the U+2A00 – U+2AFF Supplemental Math Operators set
under the precious supervision of Pierre Le Marre
The design of ligatures that includes < and > is changed
Added a lot of new ligatures to improve the programming in Haskell, Scala, Swift … in all the weights available
