Typeface Design for Stratos

Condensed caps meet geometric lowercase in one typeface

Stratos is a geometric grotesque family built around two unconventional structural ideas. Its uppercase letters are condensed, referencing gothic wood type of the 20th century, while the lowercase adopts classic geometric sans proportions — circular rounds and horizontal terminals — giving each case a distinct visual personality. All ten weights share identical advance widths through multiplexing, so switching weights does not alter line length or wrapping.
