Mono Code Cut

Its x-height is 69.6% of the cap height, near the 70.2% typical of monospace fonts in the library, lower than 12 of the 19 other monospace fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (100% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 30.4% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 11 of the 19 other monospace fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 92.5% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 92.5%), 7.6% more than the median for monospace fonts, so the same words take a longer line. The o is an upright oval, 0.91 times as wide as it is tall, and every capital has the same width. O stands exactly as tall as H and sits on the baseline, with no overshoot.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 8.7% of the cap height, lighter than 11 of the 15 other monospace fonts. Ink covers 18% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 18 of the 19 other monospace fonts. Strokes keep one thickness in every direction: the sides of o and O measure the same as their tops and bottoms. Mono Code Cut comes in Regular and Bold; Bold puts down 23% more ink than Regular.

Its 159 characters include 116 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 64 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 44.5% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 35.3% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. All ten figures share one width, so columns of numbers line up.
