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.

[...]Revisada, ampliada y con más funciones OpenType – Descubra la nueva Neue Swift
Swift – debe su nombre a un pájaro
Los veloces vencejos (swift en inglés) dibujan líneas y asombrosos arcos en el aire – un ejemplo para la mano y el lápiz del diseñador. Sus alas largas y gráciles y sus cuerpos cortos y firmes conforman una silueta sorprendente que se rescata en estas letras de grandes gracias y pronunciadas formas.
Sería difícil describir la Neue Swift como un re-diseño de la

[...]The German designer Christian Bauer created the display font Linotype Compendio™ in 1997. This font is based on the basic forms of Transitional faces of the 17th century. The outer contours of the letters are purposely raw and irregular, much like alphabets printed on low-quality paper. The legibility of the font is thus reduced, making it necessary to use this font only for shorter texts or headlines, but it is exactly this characteristic which lends Linotype Compendio its distinctiveness.

Linotype Mailbox has an entire alphabet, only lower case letters, with the look of @
[...]The unusual and noticeable Linotype Grassy™ was created by German designer Inka Menne during her communication design studies at the FH Potsdam. One project involved the development of a writing utensil. Menne designed a wooden stylus with a rubber eraser as the writing tip. "The result of this pen and a bit of 'puffing' were the basis for Grassy... As I found out that Grassy had won a prize in the 3rd International Type Design Contest, I decided to extend the typeface family to include three

Silvan Kaesar designed Seedbad after observing the unique sign lettering along the shores of Lake Geneva’s bathing area. Seebad's four different settings represent the cutting edge new style of Swiss design, which spans the bridge between modern and contemporary. Containing geometrically forms, Seebad has a narrow base. Some characters (the lowercase “t”, for example) display unicase, even uncial-like tendencies.
