About Monda

Monda is a sans serif whose round letters are flattened into rounded rectangles: the o, c and e in the specimen have straight sides and tight corners, the capital I has bars at top and bottom, and the brackets and the at sign are squared to match. The official description says the family is meant for free use on web pages, whether viewed on desktops, laptops or phones. The package is one upright variable file with a weight axis from 400 to 700 and four named weights: Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. There is no italic and nothing lighter than Regular. The 1,354 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese; the official notes add that African Latin is now covered alongside Western, Central and South-Eastern European languages. Vernon Adams designed Monda, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Monda works

Navigation bars and buttons

Squared letters with a tall lowercase stay distinct in short labels, and the family was made for browsers.

Headings on technology and gaming sites

Flat-sided curves and a barred capital I give titles an engineered look in SemiBold or Bold.

Dashboards and control panels

Four weights between 400 and 700 separate readings, labels and section titles.

Interfaces in Vietnamese and European languages

With 1,354 glyphs, the same file serves Vietnamese, Polish, Czech, Romanian and Turkish versions of a site.
