Monospaced

Monospaced typefaces are ones in which all or most characters take up the same amount of horizontal space. Code editors use monospaced typefaces by default.

“Axis” set in a monospaced typeface, with highlights showing how each character has the same width.

As evidenced on any monospaced typeface (originally produced for typewriters), there are a number of common stylistic touches on common characters to account for this shared width, such as serifs on top of the stem on a lowercase “i,” or a heavily condensed lowercase “m.”

Examples of monospaced typefaces include Courier, Roboto Mono, Inconsolata, Source Code Pro, and IBM Plex Mono.
