Monospaced Typeface for LeftLoft

Monospaced third leg of the Etica family

Milan-based Leftloft studio expanded their Etica family with a monospaced companion designed for both coding environments and graphic design applications. Released in 2019 with type design by Beatrice D'Agostino, the family spans ten styles across five weight pairs and carries the characteristic instroke on the 'c' and open-form 'a' of the broader Etica system. It joins a family already comprising nearly 80 sans and serif fonts, completing a more complex typographic system intended for technical and visual use.

Insights

Default italics use cursive forms—looped 'k', outstroke tails on 'd, f, i, l, t, y', single-stroke 'e'—while slanted alternates are available for those who prefer a conventional monospaced look.
Flat terminals and consistent counters were chosen to preserve the colour and versatility of the original Etica typeface within the monospaced constraint.
The design explicitly targets confined or predefined spaces: captions, small text, and fixed-width layout contexts.
OpenType features include case-sensitive forms, four stylistic sets, oldstyle figures, fractions, superscript, and subscript.
