Petrosian Mono
Show Me Fonts · Bernd Volmer · 2023
A subtly rounded geometric monospace family with six weights and matching italics, featuring ink traps and deliberate rhythm-breaking letterforms.
About
Built on geometric proportions with softened corners, Petrosian Mono takes a modern stance on the typewriter tradition without being bound by it. Plotter-friendly ink traps eliminate sharp interior angles, and certain characters intentionally break the monospace grid, giving the family a distinct mechanical character. At small sizes it recedes into the background; at large sizes its quirks become the point of interest.
Classification
A monospaced typeface built on geometric letter shapes with subtle rounding, taking clear inspiration from typewriter conventions while departing from them with engineered quirks such as ink traps and rhythm-breaking characters.
