Explore the Full VHS Mono Family: 6 Distinct Variants
1. VHS Mono — Modern Humanist Sans (Lowercase ‘a’: Two-Story)
The foundational style of the series, VHS Mono features clean, humanist sans-serif forms with a two-story lowercase ‘a’ and a balanced, slightly expanded counter space.

Designed for readability and retro flair, this variant shines in UI elements, terminal interfaces, and retro game titles.
2. VHS Mono Serif — Modern Humanist Serif (Lowercase ‘a’: Two-Story)
