Host Grotesk – Uniwidth Sans-Serif for Modern Interfaces
Overview
Host Grotesk is a uniwidth sans-serif typeface designed for seamless adaptability in modern digital interfaces. Unlike traditional fonts, Host Grotesk maintains consistent letter widths and spacing across all weights and italics, ensuring layout stability.
This makes it a perfect choice for user interface design (UI/UX), where even small layout shifts can disrupt user experience. Whether switching a font-weight on hover or bolding a section of text, Host Grotesk ensures that elements remain aligned without pushing letters to the next row.
With its clean, geometric look inspired by Poppins (designed by Jonny Pinhorn), Host Grotesk combines modern versatility with precise technical mastery.
