Designed by Dave Rowland, Tchig Mono is a typewriter font style household. This typeface has 5 styles and was published by Schizotype Fonts.

This is Tchig Mono, a monospaced type family that doesn't take itself too seriously. Why make a monospaced font style? For coding, sure, however screen? It's my humble opinion that it's the visual options driven by the restrictions of the monospaced environment is what makes them appealing. It's an obstacle for the type designer to squash and broaden glyphs into a rigid bounding box, and the more unorthodox shapes that derive from this have a feel about them which provides them to postmodernist designs and hipsterish anti-design. And the payoff for the type designer - no kerning! Yay.

So what's different about Tchig? Like I stated in the past, it does not take itself too seriously. Even the name Tchig is simply a dumb, enjoyable sound (although it does display that nice g!). There are a choice of lively alternates that offer text a somewhat alien feel. Stylistic set 1 chops off ascenders and descenders of lowercase letters, giving it a kind of little caps satisfies unicase feel (it is also available using the small caps feature). The other sets (or stylistic alternates if you don't have access to stylistic sets) make specific letters more twirly, more square, more "speculative". Automatic portions utilize a half-width numerator and denominator so portions like one half and 5 eighths have the very same width as figures (and every other glyph).

.

There you go then - a monospaced type family not at first planned for usage in the usual ways monospaced households are intended to be used. Provide it a shot. You could even do some coding with it if you like.
