Roboto Mono is a monospaced addition to the <a href="https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto">Roboto</a> type family.
|
||
|
|
Like the other members of the Roboto family, the fonts are optimized for readability on screens across a wide variety of devices and reading environments.
|
||
|
|
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.
