Adelle Mono Flex in Foundations of Type Design
October 2020
Adelle Mono Flex, our take on a monospace design that also has a version with proportional spacing, has been used on the Foundations of Type Design website, created by Lynne Yun.
Our Adelle Mono family is one idea stretched across two designs. Adelle Mono is a strict monospace version that fits each glyph within a set bounding box. But the “flex” in Adelle Mono Flex signifies our proportional monospace font with all the characteristics of the monospace genre, but spaced like a traditional proportional font (as we explain in this article).
Designer and lecturer Lynne Yun has put Adelle Mono Flex to work in her course Foundations of Type Design, which covers the basics of type design and is free for everyone to watch (donations welcome).
Adelle Mono Flex helps deliver the information in a clean and organised way, without the overly-constrained feeling monospace fonts generally convey — all the aesthetic feeling with none of the rigidity.
