Italic

Body — 18 px in the face

IBM's open-source mono with proper italics, subtle slab tips, and good rhythm at small sizes. The lab uses it for every kicker, every metadata strip, every drafting title block. It is to monospace what Helvetica was to grotesques — boring on purpose, gets out of the way.
