Sauna Mono
Sami Kortemäki, Akiem Helmling and Bas Jacobs for Underware
Sauna Mono keeps things light with a casual semi-serif structure and stylized brush strokes throughout. In the italic, where narrow characters are generally swallowed by the surrounding space, the designers chose to defy convention with flowing swash characters.
T-Star Mono Round
Michael Mischler for Gestalten
As monospaced fonts go, here’s one with a lot going for it. The round terminals give T-Star a subtle playfulness, reducing glyph shapes to simple constructions of individual strokes. This font’s got an industrial feel and a loose fit exemplary of contemporary Swiss design. Three weights available.
Base Monospace
Zuzana Licko for Emigre
In 1995, Zuzana Licko drew a set of screen fonts (pixel fonts) at nine and twelve point, as well as their companion “outline” fonts (with vector contours): Base 9 & 12. These latter faces got their good looks by closely following the proportions of the bitmaps. Base Monospace followed, surprisingly enough as a poster face. Wide and Narrow, three weights each.
Heimat Mono
Christoph Dunst for Atlas Font Foundry
Christoph Dunst’s Heimat series explores a few of the more idiosyncratic lettering styles of the 1920s, concluding with this startler. In case Heimat Mono’s forms are too strong for your taste, a less disruptive option is at the ready behind its OpenType stylistic set 01.
