The repetition of simple geometric shapes forms a daily part of our environment. Throughout the 20th century – and into the 21st – typefaces whose designs have taken advantage of this have remained popular. But finding exactly the right mood can be tricky. For your convenience, we have grouped some of our favorite geometric typefaces (mostly sans serif and symbol) into four categories: circles, squares, ovals, and triangles.

Quartan™ is an industrial, unicase sans serif family, with three weights. The Austrian designer Maria Martina Schmitt developed this series of typefaces for designers to use when setting chunks of text en masse. Being a unicase design, Quartan’s letterforms have no ascenders or descenders; lines of text may be stacked virtually on top of one other. This offers a multitude of possibilities for headline, logo, or corporate identity design.

Die Quartan ist eine industrielle, Unicase-Schrift (vermischte Klein- und Großbuchstaben in gleicher Höhe) mit drei Schriftschnitten. Die Österreicherin Maria Martina Schmitt entwickelte diese Schriften für Situationen, die eine massive Schrift für kurze Texte erfordern. „Unicase“ bedeutet, dass die Buchstaben alle die gleiche Höhe, also auch keine Ober- oder Unterlängen haben, so dass die Zeilen sehr eng gesetzt werden können. Dies verschafft der Schrift in vielen Situationen, etwa bei Headlines, Logos oder Corporate-Identity-Anwendungen einen großen Platzvorteil.
