Comma Type's CMM Coda epitomises the influence of women in code
Briefly

CMM Coda by Anna creatively unites the feminist heritage of typewriting and modern software, using form inspired by IBM's Dual Basic typeface. This typeface plays with the relationship between typing, coding, and writing, making each letterform a reflection of contemporary digital text creation. Through variations such as Mono Sans and Proportional styles, Anna emphasizes a unique charm and readability in her designs, revealing her interest in the layered meanings of typography while creating a versatile typeface that straddles conventional and unconventional styles.
Across CMM Coda's subtly imperfect, analogue-inspired letterforms - based on the IBM Selectric typewriter's typeface, Dual Basic - Anna practically and conceptually brings together the feminist legacy of software and typewriters with the aesthetic sensibilities of the genre associated with the industry.
Mono Sans is most closely related to the historical typewriter source Dual Basic, designing the letterforms to deliberately not fill the entire space available. This leads to a slightly clumsy but charming rhythm.
