A great resource by the ever-resourceful Christopher Bergmann. x.com/isoglosse/status/96711…

Love monospaced typefaces, but also love your readers? Proportionally spaced typefaces with a monospaced appearance may be what you are looking for. Here is a list I compiled (with the help of many others) ☞ isoglosse.de/2018/02/proport…. Additions are highly welcome.

A fascinating rugged stressed sans serif, a collaboration by @frerejones and @ninastoessinger. x.com/frerejones/status/9533…
