Gard Mono is a monospaced typeface inspired by lettering from the old Ukrainian book “Soldiers of My Legion”. Gard Mono has low contrast and unusual imbalanced details in characters.

Visually tall, high-waisted narrow uppercase letters and rounded lowercase proportions create an unusual view in the set. Its unique features make it different from the traditional monospaced grotesk typefaces.

Naming

Naming combines the words “guard” and “gart” which is a type-metal, and also GART was a literary organization of Ukrainian writers organized in 1923.

What for

Gard Mono works well in headings as well as in the blocks of text. It can be used in modern communication, bringing a recognizable voice to logos, advertising, websites, identities, posters, etc.
