Typeface Family for Editorial and Code Use

Three rhythms, one family

Chairman Mono is the monospaced member of the Chairman type system, designed by Nikola Djurek at Typotheque. Drawing on typewriter faces built for demanding print conditions, it simplifies shapes and opens apertures to support readability in editorial and code contexts. The broader Chairman collection spans 48 styles across proportional, semi-monospaced, and monospaced variants, with optical sizes for text and display, plus variable fonts.

Insights

The Chairman system's three width variants—proportional, semi-mono, and mono—alter paragraph rhythm and texture, letting designers shift cadence within a single type system.
Typotheque describes Chairman as restrained at display sizes, with expressive details in small text.
Eight intonation marks are included—six from Hervé Bazin's 1966 proposals, one from the 2007 Dutch literary organisation CPNB, and one from Alcanter de Brahm's 1899 point d'ironie—encoded as exclamation-mark variants.
