Space Mono
Colophon Foundry drew Space Mono for Google Design as a display face first and a code face second, borrowing the squared-off geometry of 1960s headline lettering — the kind science fiction has been borrowing ever since. Set a headline in it and the fixed width stops being a limitation and starts being the effect. Space Grotesk, also in this archive, is the proportional redrawing of this typeface: the same quirks, released for the paragraphs Space Mono was never meant to hold.

}Questions
- Is Space Mono free for commercial use?
- Yes. Space Mono is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Space Mono in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Space Mono belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Colophon Foundry. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Space Mono?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 4 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Space Mono support Turkish?
- Yes. Space Mono includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Space Mono support?
- Space Mono covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese, across 765 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- What weights does Space Mono come in?
- Space Mono comes in 2 weights: Regular (400) and Bold (700). Each weight is its own file in the download.
- Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Space Mono?
- Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 26 KB against 34 KB for the complete file, 23% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
- Where can I download Space Mono as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is space-mono.woff2, and it is about 34 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
