About Martian Mono

Martian Mono is a monospaced typeface derived from the Martian Grotesk font, made for code and for interfaces that borrow the look of code. It ships as a single variable file with two axes. Weight runs from 100 to 800, with eight named weights from Thin to ExtraBold; width runs from 75 to 112.5, which the official notes describe as Condensed to SemiExpanded. The default instance is the widest one, and the specimen shows it: broad letters with squared-off curves, a large x-height, and serifs added to narrow letters such as i, j and l so that they fill their cell. The fonts hold 564 glyphs. Basic Cyrillic was added in January 2023, with Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian named in the notes. There are no italics. Roman Shamin is the designer, Evil Martians the publisher, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Martian Mono works

Code editors and terminals
Every character occupies the same width, and the width axis lets a narrower setting fit more columns on a small screen.
Code samples in documentation
Weights from Thin to ExtraBold allow syntax emphasis by weight where colour is not available.
Developer-tool branding
The broad, squared letterforms at the default SemiExpanded width make a distinctive wordmark or hero line.
Tabular data and logs
Fixed-width figures and letters keep columns of numbers, hashes and timestamps aligned.
