The best IBM Plex Sans pairings
01 · Space Grotesk + IBM Plex Sans
Design that makes the first impression last
Good type does its work quietly. The headline sets the voice, the body carries the reading, and the contrast between them tells the eye where to go first.
Space Grotesk gives headlines quirky, technical character, and IBM Plex Sans is precise and very legible in technical writing. Two sans-serifs pair through contrast of weight and width: set the headline heavy and tight, the body regular and open.
02 · IBM Plex Sans + JetBrains Mono
Design that makes the first impression last
Good type does its work quietly. The headline sets the voice, the body carries the reading, and the contrast between them tells the eye where to go first.
IBM Plex Sans sets headlines with engineered, corporate confidence, and JetBrains Mono is a monospace built for reading code for hours. Monospace body text suits short, technical copy; keep paragraphs brief.
