Typeface Design for Gellix

Four families, two variables: terminal angle and junction method as the only levers

Gellix is a mono-linear geometric sans-serif family designed by Displaay. The designer developed it while captivated by Paul Renner's first Futura sketch, exploring tensions between circular and square shapes. The family includes extensive stylistic sets offering strict, cold alternates alongside less geometrically rigid options. It belongs to a quartet of related families—Hellix, Fellix, and Yellix—each varying systematically in terminal angle and how circle forms attach to vertical stems.
