While the monospaced version is related to its variable +width cousin, it doesn’t hesitate to change forms to better fit the +constraints of a monospaced environment. For example, narrow glyphs like +‘I’, ‘l’ and ‘i’ have added serifs for more even texture while wider +glyphs are adjusted for weight. Curved caps like ‘C’ and ‘O’ take on the +straighter sides from Roboto Condensed. + +Special consideration is given to glyphs important for reading and +writing software source code. Letters with similar shapes are easy to +tell apart. Digit ‘1’, lowercase ‘l’ and capital ‘I’ are easily +differentiated as are zero and the letter ‘O’. Punctuation important for +code has also been considered. For example, the curly braces ‘{ }’ have +exaggerated points to clearly differentiate them from parenthesis ‘( )’ +and braces ‘[ ]’. Periods and commas are also exaggerated to identify +them more quickly. The scale and weight of symbols commonly used as +operators have also been optimized. + +:Font creator: Google +:Source: https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/apache/robotomono +:Patched by: `Evan McClain `_ -- cgit v1.2.3
