- Roboto Mono is a monospaced addition to the
- `Roboto <https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto>`__ type family.
- Like the other members of the Roboto family, the fonts are optimized for
- readability on screens across a wide variety of devices and reading
- environments. While the monospaced version is related to its variable
- width cousin, it doesn’t hesitate to change forms to better fit the
- constraints of a monospaced environment. For example, narrow glyphs like
- ‘I’, ‘l’ and ‘i’ have added serifs for more even texture while wider
- glyphs are adjusted for weight. Curved caps like ‘C’ and ‘O’ take on the
- straighter sides from Roboto Condensed.
-
- Special consideration is given to glyphs important for reading and
- writing software source code. Letters with similar shapes are easy to
- tell apart. Digit ‘1’, lowercase ‘l’ and capital ‘I’ are easily
- differentiated as are zero and the letter ‘O’. Punctuation important for
- code has also been considered. For example, the curly braces ‘{ }’ have
- exaggerated points to clearly differentiate them from parenthesis ‘( )’
- and braces ‘[ ]’. Periods and commas are also exaggerated to identify
- them more quickly. The scale and weight of symbols commonly used as
- operators have also been optimized.
