Gail Rock
The previous SHAUGHV monospace, retained for compatibility — a full interface voice with a true fixed-pitch grid.
Paper Mono is the preferred monospace for new installations. Gail Rock remains in the combined stylesheet for existing designs.
Gail Rock is a true monospace: every encoded glyph shares the same 650-unit advance. It is still a full interface family. Titles, body, buttons, and data can all wear it. The grid is a capability, not a restriction to code blocks.

The grid never changes. Features switch the drawing of specific glyphs.
| Feature | Effect | Use |
|---|---|---|
| default | Unmarked O/o | Body and the recommended code look |
ss01 |
Center-marked O/o, single-storey a/g, alternate Q/4 | Signature display |
ss02 |
Slashed O/o and accented forms | A sharper display voice |
zero |
Slashed numeral 0 | Code and data |
dlig |
FI, LI, ft, tr ligatures | Short display copy |

O o Ó ó
O 0 00A0
Best for code
Keep the default, unmarked O/o and enable zero so numeral 0 cannot be confused with capital O. The feature name is literal: zero changes 0, while ss01 is the option that puts a center mark in O/o.
