A type specimen page for IBM Plex Mono, the body and label face, with the name set huge at left and light/medium/bold rows boxed at right.

Summary

The secondary typeface specimen: "IBM Plex Mono" set very large at lower-left, with light, medium and bold rows of "AaBbCcDdEe" boxed on the right.

Visual description

White page, "TYPOGRAPHY" and "SECONDARY" labels across the top, with a monospace note that IBM Plex Mono is the body, subline and label font, its slab and mono features feeling futuristic while staying legible. The lower-left sets "IBM Plex Mono" in three large stacked monospace lines. The right column is a bordered specimen table with three rows labeled IBM PLEX MONO LIGHT / MEDIUM / BOLD, each showing "AaBbCcDdEe" at large size. Left rail reads "04 / TYPOGRAPHY".

Key takeaway

Pairing a monospace as the official body/label face with a grotesque headline. The monospace is what gives the whole brand its engineered, technical voice across the document.

Reuse notes

Reuse as the second page of a type system. Choosing a mono for body copy is a strong move for developer-tool, crypto, or technical brands; this page is the template for documenting it.
