It's a licensed font from Blue Monday. No cyrillic, no greek, not to mention polytonic greek. And they took the true small caps out of the fonts ... MISC FIXED forever!
And did you mean Bold Monday? The ones who made the mono font for iA Writer?

Thanks for the love and critique. Issues are love too: https://github.com/ibm/type/issues/new Some things to keep in mind: — v1 will not be released until early next year. We published publicly so it is easy for teams to test and give feedback. — The documentation site was a quickfix and will merge into a silky smooth GatsbyJS site later. Give that project some love at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby — We are cons…
Given the comments here, you might want to call out more clearly that this is not the stable/final release of either the font or website to set expectations, etc.
Frankly, I'm not convinced I should be taking design advice from people who made this landing page. In some parts the page looks borderline broken [0]. [0] https://i.imgur.com/Lsz19Zl.png
Sorry, consolas still undefeated.

The title on Github (and here) say "IBM Type."
But what is IBM Type? It's never explained. Instead the site leads off with an explanation of typography. Then it introduces a specific type. It never tells us what "IBM Type" encompasses or if it is a project, a group, a new thing, and old thing, a software package, a consulting service... etc... yes it says some revisions are coming, and it will be out of beta soon, but what is it?
This is again another project without a proper introduction. All too common on Github and other OSS sites.
That being said, the teaching examples on typography embedded in the document are great.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think this is all about establishing a new distinctive look. The current one screams “1990” at anybody reading. Now they need something that is distinctly IBM while gently whispering “2020” into the readers ear.
How about something that proudly states "1970"? That would be cool!
