monospaced
Characters equally spaced
Monospaced describes a typeface in which every character occupies the same horizontal width—an "i" takes as much space as an "m." This contrasts with proportional fonts, where narrow letters get less room.
Monospaced fonts like Courier are standard for code, terminals, and any context where characters must align in columns: The error message appeared in monospaced text.
