I know monospaced type (font) means all characters have the same width. Is there a similar name for fonts where all character have the same width and height?

[As far as I know] There is no name for such fonts, because there are too few of them to create a categorization.
As mentioned in the comments, square or perhaps geometric could be possible search terms.
Your best option is to look for perfectly square uppercase fonts, as these are easier to find.
Here is a font with lowercase and a close-enough width-height ratio:
-
1The reason you dont se lots of fonts that have uniform height is that capital leters by definition have equal height* but small letters do not, it would be awfully hard to differentiate capital c from lower case c. *except they dont have to and accents + umlauts break havock on this.– joojaaJan 2, 2015 at 14:08
I think there is not! But feel free to make new declarations!
- Mono-area font: would be the weight or black.area for each character are the same
- Mono-size font: would be the same height characters
- Mono-square font: would be the one you will share with us - mono-space-size font (if you make one)
Mis wider thana, but they are both occupying the same amount of space (Horizontal and Vertical).
