Mavi Mono v7 / Mavi Sans v4

Drawn as strokes. Shipped as a font.

Nobody outlined Mavi Mono by hand. Each glyph is a skeleton, a recipe of strokes, and thirteen parameters decide the rest. Drawn at 300 and at 800, the same skeleton gives two masters. Every weight between them is the one you are moving.

One to read.one to run_

Mavi Sans wght 400-700

The voice of every Mavi screen. A quiet, gothic build: a little narrow, a tall lowercase, room around the words. It sets a settings pane and a headline with the same calm.

Mavi Mono wght 300-800

The voice of the terminal, the diff and the number. Drawn from parametric skeletons in a tight 560 cell, with rounds a little wider than straights so a full screen of it never reads square.

Both faces share one x-height, 535 units of 1000, so a path, a flag or a number set in Mono can sit inside a sentence set in Sans without stepping up or down. ¿Y en español? También: ¡ñ, ü y todos los acentos están dibujados!

The Sans was measured until it stood next to the Mono.

Mavi Sans is tuned by numbers: a touch narrow, a wide word space, and a lowercase set at 535, the exact x-height of the Mono. Put them on one line and neither steps up or down.

Rounds reach 18 units past the straights. That is the whole difference between square and not.

The lowercase of both faces is the same height, so code inside a sentence neither shrinks nor shouts.

Mavi Sans carries tabular figures, a case-sensitive set and twelve stylistic sets.

Glyphs

Pick one. In Mono you are looking at its strokes.

      

        
A preset is the whole design.

        
Thirteen numbers and a set of skeletons make Mavi Mono. Change a number and all 110 glyphs follow, at every weight.

        

          
skeletonA glyph says where its strokes go, never how thick they are.

          
strokesEach one is its own closed contour. Overlaps are never merged.

          
masters300 and 800 carry the same points in the same order, so everything between them interpolates.

          
bulgeRounds reach past the straights, so o is wider than n and the texture stops reading square.
