Monospaced fonts

Welcome to BestFonts.pro portal, where you can download monospace fonts for free for any tasks. Headsets from the catalog are easy to connect and use on your site to decorate a program code or simulate text typed on a typewriter. If you work in the field of design, install your favorite sets in MacOS, Photoshop, Figma or Sketch and use to design printed or electronic documents. 

Narrow signs of monospaced fonts often have serifs, and wide - reduced middle strokes. The number 0 is sometimes crossed out diagonally or contains elements that are extremely rare in other headsets. A similar technique is used to make it possible to distinguish a number from the letter O. 

Lines of monospace text do not appear solid. The rows of characters are divided into columns. The width of the latter is 1 familiarity. In order to improve readability resorted to increasing leading. For example, in texts for screens, the optimal value of the line spacing is 140% of the base value. 

Due to the peculiarities of the style, fonts are not very well suited for a set of articles of impressive volume. Due to low capacity, character sets are unsuitable for print publications. Among the layout designers of books and magazines, proportional headsets are mostly in demand. 

The first sets of monospaced fonts appeared in typewriters. The choice in favor of characters with the same width was made not from practical, but purely mercantile considerations. The introduction of proportional font sets required to complicate the printing unit, which would increase the cost. 

Over time, fonts migrated from typewriters to personal computers. The distribution of monospace headsets on the screens of computing devices was again explained by the saving of money. First, the use of such sign systems simplified the programming process. Secondly, it reduced the cost of buying memory. 

Today, no source editor or development environment (IDE) can do without monospaced fonts. The use of headsets facilitates line alignment and indentation. As a result, it is easier for the programmer to comply with the code design standards adopted by the organization. 

No less popular are fonts in terminal emulators and command line interfaces (consoles). Headsets are also used for the design of texts in the technical literature, the designation of nucleotide or amino acid chains, the creation of ASCII drawings, printing of checks, the manufacture of autonumbers, etc.
