Lab Grotesque Mono specimen from Letters from Sweden

A two-weight monospaced companion to Lab Grotesque that deliberately accentuates the quirks of fixed-width spacing rather than smoothing them away.

About

Designed by Stockholm Design Lab and Göran Söderström and released in 2017, this family extends Lab Grotesque into monospaced territory with Regular and Bold weights. The design philosophy treats the visual distortions of forcing proportional letters into fixed widths as a feature rather than a flaw. Script coverage spans Latin with Vietnamese support, Cyrillic and Greek.

Classification

A monospaced companion to the Lab Grotesque family, it retains grotesque proportions while embracing the visual artefacts of fixed-width spacing rather than concealing them.
