Design Concept
Fedra Mono was developed for an annual report that required a fixed-width counterpart to Fedra Sans. All the characters share the same widths, which makes it suitable for tabular setting where the information benefits from the vertical alignment of characters. A typical example would be spreadsheets or computer code. It is a 10-pitch face, which means ten characters equals one inch (2.54 cm) when set at 10pt. All the characters, regardless of weight, have the same width, which is 60% of the em square. However, despite the fixed widths, Fedra Mono still retains an even texture in typographic colour, and lucid on screen. The various potentially similar characters are clearly distinguishable, notably I, l and 1, and O and 0, as are brackets, braces and parentheses.
Symbols and Digraphs
Fedra Mono includes a collection of mathematic and computer symbols, such as shortcut keys and border glyphs, and most digraphs present in European languages. Digraphs are combinations of two letters that represent a single speech sound (phoneme). Rather than using two letters, we offer an OpenType feature to represent digraphs with one glyph.
