Iosevka (IPA: [ˌjɔˈseβ.kʰa])[2] is a monospace programming typeface, built declaratively using custom typeface generation software, and with an emphasis on compatibility with CJK characters.[3] It is available under a FOSS license. The default builds are available in two styles of nine weights each, and come with italic and oblique versions. The typeface was designed to be easily configurable by editing textual TOML configuration files in the custom generation software.

The character repertoire covers a significant portion of the Basic Multilingual Plane of Unicode, and a few characters from the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block.
