## About Overpass Mono

Overpass Mono is a monospaced family in which every character occupies the same width, reworked from the proportional Overpass typeface. Overpass itself interprets the lettering standard of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration for road signs, adjusted for screens. The mono version keeps those open, sturdy shapes and adds what code needs: a zero marked with a slash, an l with a curved foot, and an i and j with horizontal bars that fill out their cells. It is a variable font with one axis, weight, from 300 to 700, and five named weights: Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. There is no italic. The 1,791 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Vietnamese. Delve Withrington, Dave Bailey and Thomas Jockin are the credited designers, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Code editors**: The slashed zero and the footed l keep 0, O, 1 and l apart in source code.
- **Terminals and logs**: Equal character widths line up columns of output, and Medium or SemiBold can replace Regular on dim displays.
- **Code samples beside Overpass text**: The mono shares its letter shapes with Overpass, so inline code matches the surrounding sans serif.
- **Comments and strings in Cyrillic**: Cyrillic is included, so comments, identifiers and test data in that script stay in the same monospace.

## Things to know

- **No italic**: Overpass Mono is upright only; editors that italicise comments will slant it artificially.
- **Weight range 300 to 700**: The axis is narrower than that of the proportional Overpass family and opens at Light 300 by default.
- **One variable file**: The package holds the variable font. Static files for the named weights are available from the official source.
