Introduction
First things first, while Kalshi’s communications are comprised of multiple elements, the Logo is the focal point, an instantly recognizable symbol of the brand. That’s why it’s important to use the Logo as specified in these guidelines. Our Logo is a simple and modern wordmark, please follow these guides to ensure it always looks its best.
Clear Space
To make sure our logo has impact and always looks its best, we employ clear space to prevent it from becoming cluttered. A minimum clear space has been defined to ensure the integrity and impact of our logo; no text or graphic elements can encroach into this area. The minimum clear space is equal to double the stem of the K, as defined by X in the diagram.
Misuse
It is important that the appearance of the Logo remains consistent. The Logo should not be misinterpreted, modified or added to. No attempt should be made to alter the Logo in any way. Its orientation, color and composition should remain as indicated in this document, no exceptions. To illustrate this point, some of the more likely mistakes are shown here.
DO NOT use old versions of the logo from
the internet.
DO NOT stretch or warp the logo.
DO NOT use logo as masks.
DO NOT crop the logo.
DO NOT apply random colors to the logo.
DO NOT apply textures or effects to the logo.
Logo Sizing
The logo’s width should stay proportional to its layout. As a rule of thumb, keep it to about a quarter of the container width, this leaves enough breathing room for other elements and keeps the wordmark from overpowering the page. Scaling it up to half the container can work for hero moments where the logo is the sole focus, but sizing it any larger, or letting it crowd the surrounding grid and margins, is never acceptable.

Lockups
The wordmark can be paired with our tagline, “Trade what’s next.”, in a horizontal or stacked lockup as shown below. Always maintain the minimum clear space — equal to the width of the K — around the full lockup, and never change the relative size or spacing between the two elements.
Sub-Brand Lockups
Sub-brand names follow the same lockup principles as the tagline. Pair the bold Kalshi wordmark with the vertical name in the regular weight, either horizontally or stacked, maintaining the same minimum clear space — equal to the width of the K — around the full lockup. Never change the relative size, weight, or spacing between the wordmark and the sub-brand name.
Partnership Lockups
When co-branding with a partner, pair the Kalshi wordmark and the partner's logo at equal visual weight, separated by a single vertical divider. Keep the same clear space and proportions shown below — the Kalshi mark should never be resized or emphasized relative to the partner's.
Logo Color Usage
The Kalshi wordmark must always maintain sufficient contrast against its background. Use the black wordmark on white backgrounds and the white wordmark on black backgrounds. The Lightmode Green wordmark is designed exclusively for white backgrounds, while the Darkmode Green wordmark is designed exclusively for black backgrounds. Using either green wordmark on the opposite background does not meet Kalshi's contrast standards.
Use black logo on white background.
Use white logo on black background.
Use lightmode green on white background.

DO NOT use darkmode green on white background.
DO NOT use lightmode green on black background.

Typography
Introduction
Kalshi Sans is our primary typeface, drawn in three widths - standard, Condensed, and XCondensed - across five weights from Light to Bold, shown in full below. Use the standard width for most text; reserve Condensed and XCondensed for tight spaces such as data tables, tags, or dense UI labels. Never substitute a system font.
Kalshi Sans is a proprietary typeface and is not publicly available for download. Font files are provided only to approved partners for co-branded or licensed use.
