Author's note

saxMono, designed by Robert Norton of s.a.x. Software, is a free monoline sans serif with a relaxed, hand-drawn finish. Its slim strokes change gently in width, and the rounded curves sit beside crisp diagonal joins. The lettering feels open and unforced.

It can give software branding a personable technical voice, yet its informal construction also suits music posters, independent magazine covers, and packaging for small electronics or audio gear. The font is most convincing in logos, where its lightly drawn forms can become part of a simple interface-inspired emblem rather than ordinary lettering.
