Hack Nerd Font (Hack)
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font
v3.4.0
Monospace font with integrated developer icons (Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons) for terminals and editors.
Why you might care
Popular with developers for shell prompts and statuslines that need glyph support. Hack is a clean, legible base font, and Nerd Font variants add hundreds of pre-patched icons so you don't need a separate icon font. Open-source and widely compatible with terminal emulators and vim/neovim configs.
