Red Hat Mono
The monospaced member of the family Red Hat commissioned for itself, and it behaves like a sans that happens to be on a grid rather than like a terminal face: the letters keep their natural shapes and the spacing does the work. The distinguishing marks are where they need to be — a slashed zero, a tailed l, a dotted i that cannot be mistaken for anything else. Variable from 300 to 700 with a matching italic.

Questions
- Is Red Hat Mono free for commercial use?
- Yes. Red Hat 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 Red Hat Mono in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Red Hat 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 MCKL. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Red Hat Mono?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 2 font files 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. Red Hat Mono is a variable font: those files carry all 5 weights at once. Some older software — Word, Canva, and Photoshop before 2018 — reads only the one weight the file defaults to, and for Red Hat Mono that is the regular weight. If that happens, use the Static download on this page instead: it has 10 ordinary files, one per weight, and works everywhere.
- Does Red Hat Mono support Turkish?
- Yes. Red Hat Mono includes the characters Turkish 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.
- Does Red Hat Mono support Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish?
- Yes. Red Hat Mono covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 441 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
