Pentameter specimen from Occupant Fonts

Marie Otsuka's monospaced upright italic, which sets a lively cursive rhythm on strict fixed widths.

About

Pentameter treats the fixed widths of a monospace as a beat to play against, with upright italic letterforms that give each line a syncopated texture. Seven weights from Thin to Bold come in Condensed, Normal and Wide, each with an italic, and as a variable font. It covers Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.

Classification

A monospaced face drawn as an upright italic, with cursive letter shapes on fixed widths. Its slab-like serifs and three widths make it more expressive than a coding mono.
