EUCLID MONO VANGUARD
A new asteroid revolves around Euclid’s planetary system
When a typeface is expanded to include a monospaced style, this usually means: Letterforms get squeezed into a straitjacket, with added bars on ‘i’ and ‘l’ – and that’s it. To Swiss Typefaces, “usually” is a foreign word, though. Euclid Mono Vanguard brings a distinct style to the table, expanding the palette of typographic expression. It redefines what a geometric mono can be, while staying true to the Euclid spirit. The accelerating forms for ‘S’/‘s’ and ‘Z’/‘z’ thwart any rigidity that may be caused by the fixed widths. ‘M’ and ‘W’/‘w’ have diagonals, but not like you’d think. Together with the capital ligatures, they represent a contemporary nod to the special features of Avant Garde Gothic, a milestone of geometric type design that keeps providing inspiration half a century after its release. There are alts for those dancing glyphs, but don’t expect to find a safe fallback. Circle + right angle: ‘Q’ sums up the Euclidian mindset.
For a limited period, each pre-order of Euclid - Typefaces Mystery No. 1 comes with a free license for Euclid Mono.
