Red Hat Typeface is a fresh take on the geometric sans genre,
taking inspiration from a range of American sans serifs
including Tempo and Highway Gothic.
The Display styles, made for headlines and big statements,
are low contrast and spaced tightly, with a large x-height and open counters.
The Text styles have a slightly smaller x-height and narrower width
for better legibility, are spaced more generously, and have thinned joins
for better performance at small sizes.
The Mono styles are similar to the Text styles, but are adapted
for better performance to render code and similar text.
The three families can be used together seamlessly at a range of sizes.
The fonts were originally commissioned by Paula Scher / Pentagram
and designed by Jeremy Mickel / MCKL for the new Red Hat identity.
This package provides the Monospace fonts variant.
