A practical monospaced typeface, inspired by the IBM 1403 mainframe line printer from the 1960s. Designed by Jeff Kellem.
“I may steal that…you may see that again.”—Matthew Carter, in reference to a glyph design in 1403 Vintage Mono Pro.
The idea to create this typeface was sparked by Mark VandeWettering wondering aloud if a font existed reminiscent of that printer. This all uppercase, monospace typeface was quickly expanded from the initial 52 characters making up the A and H print chains to over 1,500 glyphs, supporting most languages that use the Latin alphabet (including Vietnamese), Cyrillic, Greek, and Hebrew. Small capital forms were added to act as lowercase. Continued research, design, and development led to a new release in early 2016 with over 2,300 glyphs supporting 160+ languages, along with refinements throughout.
Check out the 1403.slantedhall.com interactive specimen site designed with Kenneth Ormandy, showcasing use of the font, features, and history of the development.
In addition to small caps, the following OpenType features are included: contextual fractions, including pre-built fractions, and support for arbitrary fractions up to 10 numerators and denominators; superscripts, subscripts, and scientific inferiors; ordinals; dotted zeros for slashed zero; historical variants; and locale variants for Bulgarian, Moldovian, Romanian, Polish, Catalan, Navajo.
