## About Noto Sans Mono

Noto Sans Mono is a monospaced typeface in which every character takes the same horizontal space. In the specimen the zero carries a slash, the lowercase i has a foot serif and the l ends in a curved tail, so 0, O, 1, l and I can be told apart in code. The family is variable on two axes. Weight runs from Thin 100 to Black 900 with nine named weights, and width runs from 62.5 to 100, which gives a narrower cell when more columns must fit on screen. There are no italics. The file contains 3,920 glyphs: Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese letters and a range of symbols. Google is credited as designer and the name table lists the Monotype Design Team. Noto Sans Mono was added to Google Fonts in 2020.

## Where it works

- **Code editors and terminals**: Fixed character widths keep indentation aligned, and the slashed zero and tailed l prevent misreadings.
- **Code samples in documentation**: Nine weights let inline code match the weight of the surrounding text font.
- **Narrow terminal panes**: Lowering the width axis towards 62.5 fits more characters per line without shrinking the type.
- **Tables and logs**: Equal-width digits and letters line up in columns of numbers, hashes and timestamps.
- **Comments in Cyrillic or Greek**: Cyrillic and Greek letters are monospaced too, so non-Latin comments keep the grid.

## Things to know

- **No italic**: The family is upright only; an editor that shows italic comments will slant it artificially.
- **One variable file**: A single file carries the weight and width axes.
- **Width axis from 62.5 to 100**: The font can be made narrower than its default, not wider.
