I guess you mean Adwaita Mono and not Adwaita Sans?
Please explain if you do mean the proportional Adwaita Sans font. We almost have no proportional fonts in the set.

Comments

It's in fact not based on Inter (Adwaita Sans is) but on (yet again) Iosevka:

Some fonts on our initial font selection fell off due to shortcomings in this list, and we were left with IBM Plex Mono, Commit Mono and Iosevka.

Just like for the sans font, we made a call for testing for these three fonts. The difference in monospace fonts can be quite hard to notice, so the non-visual benefits of the fonts were important.

The favorite among users was Commit Mono, due to its fairly close neutral design to Adwaita Sans. However, the font that we ended up with was Iosevka. This made some people upset, but this decision was made for a couple of reasons:
...
So, in the end, kramo and me went through all its glyphs, configured them to look as close to Adwaita Sans as possible, and made that Adwaita Mono.

There is only one, UbuntuSans bundles both mono and sans (proportional) variants.
