Price: $8 for 3 fonts.
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 Selectric typewriter. The IBM Selectric typewriter was introduced in 1961, featuring a replaceable "golf ball" typing element. The Selectric was a popular piece of office equipment because of its innovative floating type element and because it was available in a variety of colors.
One of the Selectric type elements that fascinates me is the Script. Instead of a boring typewriter font, the Script type element is whimsical and friendly looking. I took the "idea" of IBM's Script typeface and created it around the Nu Sans proportions.
To extend the Nu Sans Monospaced family further, I created a bold weight as well.
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 Monospaced 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 Monospaced 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.
