Type, tooling, motion
A tightly cut type system and specimen engine. Variable axes, optical sizes, and a preview that behaves like a compositor, not a dropdown.
Overview
Mono is a variable type system with an engine that previews optical sizes the way a compositor would — not as a dropdown of static styles.
Focus areas
- Variable axes with sane defaults for UI density
- Specimen pages that stress-test rhythm and spacing
- Motion that sells weight changes without spectacle
Outcome
Type became a system you could ship, not a folder of files nobody opened.
