CoFo Drifter
Contrast Foundry · Egor Golovyrin · 2023
A monospaced typeface by Egor Golovyrin that counters the cold rigidity typical of the genre by slanting single-stroke verticals to create active, eye-catching diagonals.
About
Designed to solve a longstanding problem in monospaced type, CoFo Drifter tilts narrow verticals such as i and l to fill white space and add visual energy without sacrificing legibility. Open letterforms and vertical stroke cuts give it a friendly, approachable quality despite its technical structure. Available in seven weights from Hairline to Black with full variable font support, it covers Latin and Cyrillic and suits both branding and body typography.
Classification
The foundry explicitly describes CoFo Drifter as a monospaced typeface, designed to address the classic spacing challenges inherent to monospaced type through slanted verticals.
