Spot Grotesk
Schick Toikka · Florian Schick, Lauri Toikka
Spot's proportional flavour: a typewriter-derived sans in four weights with italics, with the Mono's warmth but without fixed character widths.
About
Spot Grotesk is the proportionally spaced flavour of the Spot family. It carries Spot Mono's appeal of provisionality, austerity and authenticity, including the uniform stroke width, rounded ends, distinctive dots and large x-height, but trades fixed character widths for proportional rhythm. Four weights from Light to Bold with matching italics suit body copy, captions and marginalia in small sizes and friendly display work at larger sizes. It pairs with Spot Mono and Spot Semi-Mono, and a Spot variable font ties all three with weight, slant and spacing axes.
