Body — 18 px in the face

Florian Karsten's proportional variant of Space Mono. Narrow, geometric, with one or two slightly idiosyncratic letterforms (the lowercase g, the open a) that keep it from feeling neutral. Variable wght axis (300–700). The lab uses it as the poster-headline face for risograph; it pairs well with anything that wants a slightly-Swiss but not-quite-Helvetica voice.
