Menlo (typeface)
Monospaced typeface
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Menlo is a monospaced sans-serif typeface designed by Jim Lyles and Charles Bigelow.[1][3] The typeface was first shipped with Mac OS X Snow Leopard in August 2009.[4][3][5] Menlo superseded the Monaco typeface, which had long been the default monospaced typeface on macOS.[6][7] Menlo is based on the open source font Bitstream Vera and the public domain font DejaVu.[8][4][9][10][1][3]

Replacement
Menlo was replaced as the system monospaced font in Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan in September 2015, with a new Apple-made monospaced font called SF Mono, a monospaced variant of the San Francisco family of fonts that Apple has created as part of its corporate identity.[11][12][13][14][15]
