Thin parentheses bracket

Post by Johannes_B »

Hi and welcome,

to be honest, i have no idea which mathfont that could be. There are thousands of fonts of there, hundreds with good math support. This might as well have been produced by hand.

Here is the output of standard LaTeX:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
\[F(x)=\begin{pmatrix}\frac{x}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & x^2\end{pmatrix}\]
\[F(x)=\begin{pmatrix}\displaystyle\frac{x}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & x^2\end{pmatrix}\]
\end{document}

Thank you for helping :) But the parentheses in your solution seems to be thick.

How to make the thin one like this? Thanks :D

As i said, impossible to tell if you don't, ny any chance, know the font, or a similar font.
