Typeface Design for Hellix

Four subfamilies, one geometric logic

Hellix is a mono-linear geometric sans-serif family developed during an internship at the Type Design and Typography Studio at UMPRUM in Prague. The project grew from an interest in Paul Renner's early Futura sketches, leading the designer to explore tensions between circular and square forms. It expanded into a system of four subfamilies — Hellix, Gellix, Fellix, and Yellix — each defined by distinct combinations of terminal direction and how circular forms connect to vertical stems.
