Mono (short for "monospace") means every character has the same width - less readable, but the way text lines up makes it useful for things like coding, consoles and ASCII art (or, just looking like something was written on a typewriter).This is an example of monospace - see how normally-narrow characters like !, i, . and l have the same amount of space on the line as normally-wide characters like M, m and _

I posted mine because the classifications follow the history and evolution of type, and that gives a good context into what makes a typeface look the way it does, even though fonts don't always fit neatly into them. It's a little bit like the difference between Grammy award categories and Pandora's classifications. | |
