New typeface: Halvar Mono

Joined release with TypeMates. Halvar Breitschrift, Halvar Mittelschrift, Halvar Engschrift, and their stencil counterparts are now joined by a monospaced typeface

2 June 2006

Halvar Mono expands the Halvar universe by taking the next logical step: re-engineering Halvar’s constructed forms, raw charm, and machine precision into a monospaced typeface.

With Halvar Mono, Halvar’s duplexed approach to individual characters is given clearer form — now every character in each of its nine weights occupies the same width. Built on Halvar’s balanced medium weight, this monospaced typeface is practical and precise across data, tables, and technical systems; steady and dependable in demanding pixel and print applications.

Halvar’s styles have German names and multilingual ambitions. Its character set includes extended Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic and supports more than 190 languages. Perfect for cross-market branding. To ensure TypeMates’ usual high standards throughout all glyphs, the Cyrillic and Greek letterforms were developed in consultation with native readers.

A font system this comprehensive is shipped with standard figures, circled highlights, superscripts, as well as fractions. Alternate characters let Halvar Mono toggle between two additional stylistic sets: one plain and functional, another distinct and digital.

With manual TrueType hinting and special attention to text styles, contemporary proportions and a robust design, Halvar Mono is optimised for screen performance and ready to meet any challenge in user interface typography.

Halvar was designed by Jakob Runge, Lisa Fischbach, and Nils Thomsen with contributions from Natalie Rauch and Yaprak Buse.
