# Typeface Specimens of Houston Mono™

**[Fatih Arslan](https://daily.dev/sources/arslan-io)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Fatih Arslan shares his experience receiving physical typeface specimens for the upcoming Houston Mono™ font by Neil Panchal and U.S. Graphics, the same creator behind Berkeley Mono. The post explains the difference between typefaces and fonts, gives a brief history of typeface specimens from 1882 to today, and describes how the Houston Mono specimens evoke a 1960s/70s engineering aesthetic through their paper, printing process (called SpectraEtch™), and technical layout. Houston Mono is not yet released, but followers can track updates via U.S. Graphics on X.
