Publisher's Synopsis
Monospaced typefaces are defined by their fixed, equal width for all characters. Every character, letter, and number occupies horizontally and vertically the same space. Proportional typefaces, in turn, have harmoniously balanced spaces with variable widths between their characters. The widths are not set proportional. That is why monospaced typefaces are also named non-proportional. What exactly is the attraction of typefaces, whose letters and characters each occupy an equally large space? Due to the increase in typeface production over the past few decades, almost every well-developed font family also has a mono or semi-mono cut. At a time when it has never been easier to design and publish typefaces, this book provides an introduction to monospace.
