Gigalypse

Background
Display typefaces are usually suited to one task. A type might be perfect when a designer needs the blackest type, or the thinnest type, or the most swashes. But James Puckett wanted to design a new one-weight workhorse with lasting value. He wanted a typeface to look novel and classic, like modernist furniture. And it would feel soft and heavy, like cumulus clouds of liquid platinum.
Gigalypse was conceived from a kind of superellipse known as a squircle. A squircle is a square with no straight lines; it has round corners and round sides. Gigalypse’s O is a squircle and every other shape was derived from it.
