The Droid typeface family was designed in the fall of 2006 by Ascender's
Steve Matteson, as a commission from Google to create a set of system fonts
for its Android platform. The goal was to provide optimal quality and comfort
on a mobile handset when rendered in application menus, web browsers and for
other screen text.

Droid Sans Mono is a humanist monospace sans serif typeface designed for user
interfaces and electronic communication.
