Using Cascadia Code in a book

Monospaced faces suit code listings, typewriter effects and technical material; their even spacing is less comfortable for continuous reading.

Commercial typefaces require a licence that covers embedding in PDFs and ebooks; check the foundry's licence before you publish.
