While not a dedicated monospace font, developers have adopted Indra-normal for comments and documentation strings. The clear distinction between 0 (zero) and O (capital O) and between 1 (one), l (lowercase L), and I (capital I) is above average for a proportional font.

Terafont Indra-normal is distributed through the Terafont Foundry’s official channels. As of 2025, the licensing model is as follows:
Terafont Indra-normal (hereafter “Indra-normal”) is a digital typeface family characterized by a hybrid design that blends geometric, humanist, and calligraphic influences. It targets contemporary editorial, branding, and UI applications where a distinctive yet highly legible sans-serif is required. Indra-normal emphasizes a neutral overall texture with idiosyncratic details that provide personality at display sizes while preserving clarity in text.
Apple’s San Francisco and Google’s Inter are dominant in UI, but Terafont Indra-normal offers a distinctive alternative. Its open counters prevent 'a' and 'e' from collapsing at 12px, while its slightly wider character width (average width 550 units vs. 500 for Helvetica) improves touch target spacing for buttons.
