Monospaced Typeface for Lineto

A monospaced companion fourteen years in the making

Akkurat Mono is a monospaced type family designed by Laurenz Brunner and published by Lineto. A beta cut was available as early as spring 2004, with the first formal release in 2005. The family was expanded in 2019 to four cuts—including a bold weight and italics—with font engineering and mastering handled by Alphabet, Berlin, and production assistance from Wei Huang.
