Monocle was designed by Michael Jarboe and published by Reserves. Monocle contains 3 styles and family package options.
Monocle is a clean and contemporary monospaced geometric sans that excels in titling, data and numerical settings due to its clear and systematic design. The capitals-only format increases the harmony between letter pairings, opposing the irregularity of mixed case fixed-width typefaces.
Stylistically, Monocle has the feel of a neutral sans, yet its underlying structural finish exudes a strong sense of order and authority. Its geometric foundation is especially pronounced in the constructed round forms.
With multiple stylistic sets, individual letters can be exchanged to fine-tune text settings for a unique custom type solution.
