Nu Sans Monospaced is a fixed width version of Nu Sans, optimized for on-screen display.
Nu Sans Monospaced has been a long time coming. I started designing this font in 1996 and had completed the outline and bitmaps about 1997. It sat on the shelf (so to speak) for a year. During that time, I had updated the Nu Sans family many times, improving the design of the letterforms with each version. After finishing up version 8.0 of Nu Sans, I decided to take a look at Nu Sans Monospaced again. I found that the bitmaps were really good looking, but the outlines needed to be scrapped. So I finished up a new set of outlines and polished off the character set.
Now that 2000 has rolled around (not quite the Millennium, but hey, we've got three zeros, so that's pretty neat :-), I decided it was about time to extend the Nu Sans Monospaced family. Early in 1999, I got interested in the different typefaces available for the IBM Selectric typewriter. One of my favorites was the "Script" typeface. So I ordered the type ball and then used a friend's Selectric (he still uses his for his business letters) to create a type specimen.
I used the specimen as a basis for the italic for Nu Sans Monospaced. I took the "idea" of IBM's Script typeface and created it around the Nu Sans proportions.
I hope that you enjoy using these fonts as much as I enjoyed designing them for you! A complete version history of Nu Sans Monospaced is available online. Send me your comments at marty@scootergraphics.com. And be sure to visit my webpage at: http://www.scootergraphics.com/
Why pay? Well, aside for helping Marty Pfeiffer pay for college, you will get an even greater benefit: full versions of both Nu Sans Monospaced fonts. That means that you will get two fonts, each containing the whole character set (with upper and lowercase letters, accented characters, special characters and numbers). You will notice that Nu Sans Mono Demo lacks a full character set and prints out numbers as though they were bitmaps. This is to remind you that you are using a demo version and to encourage you to register. It is my policy to provide free updates for all of my software. Registered users are also the first ones notified when I update my software. Please see my page on how to register my fonts.
If you would like to include Nu Sans demo on a CD or upload it to your favorite ftp site, please send me a note. I'm more than happy to allow Nu Sans to be distributed through different channels, I just want to be in the loop :-) Info-Mac has my permission to distribute this package in any medium.
