Reddit Mono is a variable font: the download holds the whole weight range in one file, and the named weights above are positions on that range.

About Reddit Mono

Reddit Mono is a monospaced typeface in which every character occupies the same width. It was designed for Reddit and sits beside two proportional relatives, Reddit Sans and Reddit Sans Condensed; the official description calls its letterforms humanist. In the specimen the zero is slashed, the lowercase l curves at the foot and the i carries a top serif and a base stroke, which keeps look-alike characters apart, while round letters stay open and plain. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 200 to 900 and eight named weights, ExtraLight to Black. There are no italics, so the 8 styles are all upright, in one variable file. The font holds 1,073 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Stephen Hutchings and OrangeRed are credited, and Reddit, Inc. holds the copyright under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Reddit Mono works

Code editors and terminals

Fixed widths align indentation, and the slashed zero and tailed l separate 0 from O and l from 1.

Code blocks in documentation

Reddit Sans comes from the same project, so inline code and prose can share related letter shapes.

Tables and logs

Equal character widths line up columns of numbers, timestamps and IDs without table markup.

Syntax themes with weight contrast

Eight weights allow keywords in SemiBold or Bold and comments in Light within one file.

Interface labels with data

Medium and SemiBold keep short readouts such as counters and keys legible at small sizes.

  font-weight: 200 900;
  font-style: normal;
