Onsite SemiMono - Sociotype

About

The love-child of Onsite Mono and Onsite Standard, Onsite SemiMono is a unique hybrid that fuses technical nuances of a monospace (prolonged serifs and crossbars) with proportional spacing & kerning lent from Onsite Standard. The subfamily embodies associations and code-like language of a mono, but with none of the drawbacks of fixed-width characters.
