Victor Mono - Google Fonts

About

Victor Mono is a monospaced font with optional semi-connected cursive italics and programming symbol ligatures. The typeface is slender, crisp and narrow, with a large x-height and clear punctuation, making it legible and ideal for code.

The typeface was created to meet specific requirements for code and programming:

narrow enough to fit a lot of text
wide enough to be scannable
strict, geometric and readable regular style
more friendly and flowing italics
programming symbol ligatures

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
