traditional typewriter font, monospaced and systematically aligned. This characteristic allows for a consistent reading rhythm, making it ideal for coding and programming tasks. Additionally, the slab-shaped serifs give the font a sturdy feel, which makes it a great choice for titles and headlines. The uniformity of letter spacing allows for easy alignment of text in columns and rows, which is essential for tabular data and other programming tasks. Overall, Go Mono is a versatile font that is suitable for a variety of tasks, from coding to headline writing.
Go sans-serif fonts, derived from humanist handwriting, but the monospacing and slab serifs tend to obscure the historical and stylistic connections.
Go Mono Italics are oblique versions of the romans, with the exception that the italic lowercase 'a' is redesigned as a cursive single-story form to harmonize with the bowl shapes of the b d g p q. The cursive 'a' makes the italics appear more lively than a simply slanted roman. As with many sans-serif fonts, it is believed that slanted roman slab-serifs fonts may be more legible than truly "cursive" italics.
Go Mono fonts have two weights: Normal and Bold. The normal weight stem is the same as in Go Normal and thus maintains clarity on backlit screens, which tend to erode letter features and stem thickness. The bold stem thickness is 1.5 times thicker than the normal weight, hence the Bold Mono has the same stem thickness as Bold Go proportional.
These fonts were created by the Bigelow & Holmes foundry specifically for the
