A monospace or typewriter font with matching math support

Question

This might sound odd but I really like the old typewriter books from the pre-TeX era (the type of books that inspired Knuth to make TeX!). I don't know the exact reason, maybe its because I am very fond of typewriter and monospace fonts or just a nostalgia for old math books from 1960s ...

Anyway I am looking for typewriter font with matching math support. It is easy to change the text of a document into a typewriter font however the math font never matches and that results in an ugly combination. An example which I really like is Moments, monodromy, and perversity: a diophantine perspective by Nick Katz. I contacted the author and unfortunately he has not done this in TeX. The fonts are bit fonts created by William Fulton back in the 1980s. So what are your suggestions?

Answer 1

They aren't monospace (neither is the font used in the main text of your example), but I think the Concrete fonts have a bit of a typewrite look.

Answer 2

DejaVu Sans Mono have both Latin and Greek plus some math symbols, if you use fontspec and unocode-math then it can be used for simple formulas:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}

\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans Mono}
\setmathfont[math-style=upright]{DejaVu Sans Mono}

\begin{document}
\(
  \text{Sum}(E, f, ψ) ≔ ∑_{x_1,\dots, x_n \text{in} E} ψ_E(f(x_1,\dots, x_n)).
\)
\end{document}

But more complex formulas needs OpenType math tables in the font.

Answer 3

Setting the body text to a typewriter font and using mathastext will get you some way towards your goal. This won't give you greek letters or things like appropriate integral signs, but it's a start...
