Lettermatic + GitHub = Monaspace. 5 families, over 210 styles, and 6,000+ unique glyphs per font supporting over 200 languages. Best part? It is 100% open source and free for developers to download.
Did you know the GitHub Monaspace project includes nearly three quarters of a million glyphs? We documented the design process in our brand new case study, link in bio. 🔤
Dusting off the feed. The studio has been busy building out new families and finishing projects. It’s time to start sharing some of that work again. Stay tuned…
From our custom projects to our catalogue typefaces, we craft each font with the designer in mind. We believe in making fonts that make your design work easier and more enjoyable, making good typography accessible for all. #typegang #typography

🔍🔤💻 Portamento is a flexible, lively font family custom-designed for Google Developers. Rather than aiming for mathematical perfection and rigidity, Portamento specifically punctuates words with organic moments of charm and friendliness — especially valuable when reading or writing code. The design blends a constellation of shapes with rounded terminations (blue, above), rectangular features (yellow) and angular terminations (green), to maximize legibility by differentiating letters.

We designed Portamento for Google Developers by leveraging the power of interpolation with custom software. First, we built a proportional typeface with an interpolation range from light to dark weights and narrow to regular widths. Next, we translated this proportional typeface into a monospace design with our custom software, which allowed the two subfamilies to share the same DNA of shapes. This software assembled a monospace typeface by mixing together the wider drawings for typically narrow letters like ‘i’ and ‘l’ and narrow drawings for wide characters like ‘m’ and ‘w’, to achieve an alphabet where every letter matched in width.
