Typeface Design for Brenner Mono
One superfamily, radically different styles, shared vertical metrics
Brenner Mono is the fixed-width member of Nikola Djurek's Brenner superfamily, released by Typotheque in 2018. It shares vertical metrics with the family's other styles—Sans, Serif, Slab, Display, Script, and Condensed—making them combinable in complex layouts. The monospaced cut targets code, spreadsheets, data visualisation, and editorial contexts where an unpretentious text texture is wanted.
