About Space Mono

Space Mono, by Colophon Foundry, is a monospaced typeface that mixes a geometric base and grotesque details with the feel of 1960s headline typefaces, giving it a retro-futuristic look. Unlike most code fonts, it is designed to be expressive, which makes it popular for headlines and branding as well as code.

Best used for

  • Tech and creative studio branding
  • Headlines with a retro-tech feel
  • Labels, tags and metadata
  • Code snippets in editorial layouts

What to pair it with

Space Grotesk was derived from Space Mono and makes a natural pair. Inter and Work Sans also balance its quirky personality in body text.
