Create a monospaced variant

Open BrainStone opened this issue 4 years ago • 16 comments

Hi.
So I've really come to love this font. It's so great and readable. I'm very happy that it exists and is free for everyone!

Now as programmer I often work with monospaced fonts. Quite frankly, I use and see them everywhere.
So I was wondering if it was possible to create a monospaced font variant of this.

Possible, but time consuming.

Would be very cool.

I was about to open an issue about it. I completely agree with the idea. A monospaced Lexend would help kids and other people to enter the programming world with the most readability possible. This font would get incredibly popular among programmers.

@bghryct , @BrainStone, @spl How can we help make this happen?

Just throwing my case in here. I have a free web app that helps people manage their time. It shows the time you’ll be finished with your day at the top. Lexend was the absolute best choice for this and stays readable from a distance at different angles (if someone leaves their phone on the table across the room for example):

There’s an option to show seconds on the time too, however every second that passed the time would shift back and forth since the time is centered and each Lexend character is a different width. I had to resort to this other not-so-good monospace font so each character would stay in the same place:

EE550C15-434F-433D-A554-FB7E7CDF0BDF

Please, put me out of my misery.

I've been a fan of Lexend/Readex Pro literally since I first saw it, I too would love a monospace version!

@ThomasJockin sorry for tagging you but this request hasn't got any response from the team and it has alot of interest from the community and could help many programmers (including me). Will the team consider making a monospaced variant for readexpro?

Vouch! I fell in love with this font when I first saw it, and a monospace variant would be nice for a project I'm working on

Need this

I totally agree. This would be amazing. It would also need a slash through the zero to differentiate it from a capital O.
