What is google-go-mono-fonts
Go Mono has slab-shaped serifs, giving it a sturdy appearance. The underlying letter shapes of Go Mono are, like the Go font family, derived from humanist handwriting, but the mono-spacing and slab serifs tend to obscure the historical and stylistic connections. Go Mono has the same x-height as Go, 53% of the body size. Go Mono looks almost 18% bigger than Courier, which has an x-height 45% of body size. Yet Go Mono has the same width as Courier, so the bigger look is gained with no loss of economy in characters per line. Go source code looks particularly good when displayed in Go Mono, with punctuation characters easily distinguishable and operators lined up and placed consistently.
