Some clearly differently constructed glyphs make the difference. The italics of MonoLisa are not simple slanted versions of the upright font. MonoLisa carefully compensates that by using unique letter shapes to keep the balance between dark and light space. Monospaced fonts naturally have unevenly distributed dark and light space in comparison to regular typefaces. MonoLisa uses open forms and terminals (starting and ending points) that are pointing towards the neighbouring letters to let the eye follow the line of text fluently. MonoLisa has a set of glyphs that fit together but at the same time are distinct enough so you can tell them apart. The shapes are more relaxed creating less eye strain over long periods of time.ĭistinction is critical for a good coding font since it reduces ambiguity and helps avoid mistakes that can lead to software bugs.

Increased character width helped us designing a typeface with more natural, open forms. MonoLisa features a few unique techniques that increase the legibility and make it visually pleasant to look at for longer periods of time. Using the incorrect font will reduce efficiency and cause bugs, so experts created MonoLisa Font to help developers be more productive and less tired.ĭesigning a monospace font is much harder than a traditional, proportional one: being constrained by the same width of all glyphs can result in a boring or unreadable font. A MonoLisa font is designed for software developers.
