How software feels
I learned in design school in Germany that of course, the percent symbol is separated from the number with a space. Because you could also write 100 Prozent. You also don’t write 100cm without a space, right?
And the careful typographer will make a Jan Tschichold gesture and decrease the space slightly …
But obviously, things are different in written English.
That’s going to be … interesting 😂
Typography nerds, I need your opinion! (And help 🙏)
Channeling your inner Robert Bringhurst – how would you write a percentage in English correctly?
100 % – with a space, because % is a unit
100% – who needs a weird space here?
100 % – with a thin space, don't half-ass it!
Honestly, who cares, really…

Quick reminder, especially if you’re a freelancer or developer using Free/Pro/Pro+ plans for client work: Opt out of GitHub using your data for AI model training before April 24 (seriously, wtf that this isn’t opt-in!).

And here’s a small favour I’d love to ask: If you’ve seen me speak and have a few kind words to share – a short testimonial about your experience – I’d be genuinely thankful if you wrote me. It would mean a lot and help others know what to expect. 🙏💚
I finally did it: I now have a speaking page on my site. 🎤🎉
If you’re looking for someone to talk about design, the web, CSS, accessibility, or the independent web at your event, that’s where you’ll find what I do, what I’ve spoken about, and how to get in touch:
