Inconsolata is an open-source

Lucas de Groot, the proportional Avenir and IBM's classic monospaced Letter Gothic

.

Inconsolata has received favorable reviews from many programmers [1]^[2]^[3] who consider it to be a highly readable and clear monospaced font.

Initially having no bold weight, when Inconsolata was added to Google Fonts, it was fully hinted and a bold variant was added.

A Hellenised version of Inconsolata, containing full support for monotonic Modern Greek, was released by Dimosthenis Kaponis in 2011 as Inconsolata Hellenic, under the same license.^[4]

Inconsolata-LGC is a fork of Inconsolata Hellenic which adds bold, italic and cyrillic glyphs.^[5]
