Red Circle (typeface)

Red Circle is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Alan Dague-Greene and released by XYZ Type in 2020. It is characterized by its distinctive circular forms, particularly noticeable in the letter "O" and other curved glyphs. The design aims for a clean, modern aesthetic, blending functionality with a touch of visual playfulness.

The typeface is available in a range of weights, from thin to black, making it suitable for various applications, including branding, editorial design, and digital interfaces. Its legibility is maintained across different sizes, owing to its careful attention to spacing and letter proportions.

Red Circle's design draws inspiration from early 20th-century geometric sans-serif typefaces, but it also incorporates contemporary design principles to create a unique and versatile font. Its distinctive character shapes lend it a recognizable personality while remaining highly readable.

The font family includes OpenType features such as stylistic alternates, ligatures, and multiple numeral styles, further enhancing its usability and design flexibility. These features allow designers to tailor the typeface to specific needs and create a more polished and refined typographic appearance.

Red Circle is used in a variety of design contexts, appreciated for its clarity, geometric structure, and modern appeal. It's suitable for both headlines and body text, depending on the chosen weight and application.
