Teletype Font: Main Tips

  • Using tt tag in HTML defined text as it would appear on a teletype or a similar device: in monospace or fixed width font.
  • This tag is deprecated since HTML5. You can use <code> or <samp> instead.
  • The teletype font tag supported all global attributes.

Using <tt> for Teletype Font

The HTML teletype text (tt) element made inline text look like it was displayed on a teletype, a line printer, or other device with a fixed-width display.

Example
<tt>This text is written in Teletype font.</tt>

Note: a typeface like this can also be called monotype or monospace.
