It's perfect for those times where you need something monospace, but not too monospace.

Not sure if you're being facetious - it's actually not a crazy idea. For example: displaying 'code' at display font sizes.

If I want to show something that looks like code - like an HTML tag or something - at a heading size on a page or a poster, a proper monospaced coding font is going to look bad. Playing with the MONO slider on https://www.recursive.design/ for a string like '<blink />' does a good job of producing something that looks like code but isn't swamped with too much whitespace...
