## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **No italic**: Monda has upright styles only. Emphasis has to come from Medium, SemiBold or Bold.
- **One variable file**: The package holds a single file with the 400 to 700 weight axis. Static instances are available from the official source.
- **Regular is the lightest weight**: The axis does not go below 400 or above 700.
