## About Cutive Mono

Cutive Mono is a monospaced typeface in which every character occupies the same width, as on a typewriter. Its strokes are thin and nearly even, each stem ends in a flat slab serif, and narrow letters such as i, j, l and r are given wide feet that fill their fixed cells. According to the official notes, the design draws on several classic typewriter faces, and Cutive Mono is the fixed-width sister of the proportional Cutive family. Vernon Adams is credited as the designer. The family consists of one Regular cut, without bold or italic, and it is not a variable font. Its 452 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, which include the letters needed for languages such as German, Turkish, Polish and Czech. The files are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Typewritten-looking pages**: Fixed widths and slab serifs give letters, memos, scripts and film props the appearance of a sheet pulled from a typewriter.
- **Code samples in articles**: Every character has the same width, so indentation and aligned columns survive in short code listings.
- **Captions and pull quotes**: The thin, even strokes set a quiet second voice beside a heavier text family on an editorial page.
- **Receipts, tickets and simple tables**: Digits share one width, which keeps prices and totals lined up without extra table markup.

## Things to know

- **One cut, no bold or italic**: Cutive Mono ships as a single Regular file. Emphasis has to come from size, colour or underlining, as it would on a typewriter.
- **Thin strokes throughout**: The specimen shows light, low-contrast strokes. There is no heavier weight to switch to when small text needs more presence.
- **Latin subsets only**: The character sets are Latin and Latin Extended. Cyrillic and Greek letters are not in the font.
