DESIGNER'S NOTES: One of the problems
font designers have to deal with when designing monospaced fonts
is forcing wide letters like M and W into the same space as the
reset of the alphabet and narrow letters like I. All monospaced
sans-serif fonts deal with the extra space around the letter I
by adding serifs and the M and W are "given the squeeze".
Unlike fonts designed for print, Cinecav™ Mono has the additional
challenge of retaining the M and W gaps (see the Cinecav™ UI description).
As you can see, I raised the middle on the M, dropped the middle
of the W and made the lines nearly vertical, thereby retaining
our M and W gaps and our onscreen clarity. Rather than squeezing
the copyright, registered and CC symbols, I chose to superscript
them for better clarity.
