Monospace fonts are typefaces in which each character occupies the same amount of horizontal space. Unlike proportional fonts, where characters have varying widths, monospace fonts ensure that every character is equally spaced, regardless of its actual width.
Monospace fonts are commonly used in programming environments, text editors, command line interfaces, and other contexts where maintaining a consistent and predictable layout is essential. They help maintain the alignment of characters, making it easier to read and interpret code or data.
