About Space Grotesk

Space Grotesk, by Florian Karsten, is a proportional sans derived from Space Mono. It keeps some of Space Mono's quirky details while being much easier to read in paragraphs, giving it a modern, slightly technical personality.

Best used for

  • Tech startups and Web3 projects
  • Portfolio and creative studio sites
  • Headings with a distinctive feel
  • Product pages and pitch decks

What to pair it with

Space Mono is its natural companion for labels and code. Inter works for denser body text, and a serif like Newsreader adds editorial contrast.
