Mono Sans is “Standard” width:  it is sized so that when set 10/12 each
glyph is a 2×1 rectangle.  Matching wide glyphs are then a perfect square when
set 10/12.

Most monowidth fonts fit that pattern.

Knuth, et al’s Computer Modern Typewriter is a notable exception.  Luc(as) de
Groot’s Thesis Mono also has, as I recall, a narrow version.  Both were
designed for setting code in books, where the page width is more narrow.

A narrow version of DejaVu Sans Mono would not be a bad idea, but it would
probably be more useful as a cubic-spline font, since it would be used most for
paper publishing.
