Nova Mono

Wojciech Kalinowski · 2011 · OFL-1.1

One of a family of experiments that share a name and very little else, and the monospaced one is the oddest: the letterforms mix a squared skeleton with sudden curved details, and the Greek in it is drawn with as much attention as the Latin. It is not a working code face and does not pretend to be. One weight.

Use Nova Mono on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe, Greek.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Nova Mono';
  /* The download contains .ttf files. Put yours wherever you serve static
     files from and point this at it. Converting to .woff2 first cuts the
     size by roughly 60% and every current browser supports it. */
  src: url('/fonts/nova-mono.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Nova Mono', monospace;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/nova-mono.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Nova Mono', monospace;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Nova Mono also covers Türkçe, Greek, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Nova Mono free for commercial use?
Yes. Nova Mono is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use Nova Mono in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Nova Mono belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Wojciech Kalinowski. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Nova Mono?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
Does Nova Mono support Turkish?
Yes. Nova Mono includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
What languages does Nova Mono support?
Yes. Nova Mono covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Greek, across 1,331 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
