Typography

The 2026 type kit

Four typefaces, one role each. All four are free and open source, so partners can install them without a licence.

Carved by the Ocean

Space Grotesk Headings and short statements. Light 300 at large display sizes, Medium 500 for section headings.

Every case is a one off, cut from a sheet no two of which are alike.

Inter Body text, product descriptions, tables, interface labels. Regular 400 and Medium 500.

MTK-P17PM-BO USD 49.00

Space Mono SKU codes, prices, technical specs. Figures line up in a column, which is the point.

a true expression

Instrument Serif, italic Accent only. A few words inside a heading, never a whole sentence, never body text.

Where each one goes

SKU, prices, specs	Space Mono	400 Regular
Accent words	Instrument Serif italic	400

Technical fallbacks, not optional

Two surfaces cannot render these fonts, so they get a safe substitute:

Spreadsheets (.xlsx) do not embed fonts. Price lists and Product Info render with whatever the recipient has installed, so set them in Arial or Helvetica.
Email: Outlook and the Gmail app ignore webfonts. Email templates keep a standard sans-serif stack.

What the wordmark uses

Nothing. The MATERIK wordmark is drawn artwork, not type, so it is unaffected by any of this. Never rebuild it in a font, place the supplied file. See the Logo page.

This portal runs on the kit above, so what you read here is what the fonts look like in use.

Do not substitute another typeface in Materik branded layouts.
