Iki Mono Condensed

Iki Mono is a multifaceted monospaced typeface designed for publishing and coding.

Its sans serif structure displays some letterforms (as well as a degree of contrast) that are reminiscent of 19th-century grotesques, while in the non-oblique versions the letters have been very slightly slanted leftwards.

Like typewriter typefaces Iki Mono has to cope with the limitations of a width system that forces shapes into a specific space.

This extensive type family of forty weights and styles – from Compressed Thin to Extra Expanded Bold, including their slanted versions – takes its name ‘Iki’ from the japanese word for breath.
