Font family

Multiple typefaces are part of the Cascadia Code font family, representing a variety of text styling options and adjustable weights. The main and Powerline variants of the types are suitable as display fonts. With the exception of Cascadia Mono, all types replace common character combinations with their elided counterparts. Other styles supported by this font family include textual arrows and stylistic sets for italics, alternate graphics, alternate control character glyphs, and a cursive form of italic. Tables of the supported styles and more examples can be viewed in the GitHub README document.
