A rounded geometric sans by Shiva Nallaperumal, inspired by Wim Crouwel's Oldenburg exhibition poster, featuring prominent ink-traps and cushion-like letterforms across five weights.
About
Part of the broader Trench superfamily alongside Trench Slab and Trench Sans, Trench Rounded translates the softness of Crouwel's distinctive poster lettering into a functional type family. Large ink-traps are a defining feature throughout, giving each letter visual depth at small sizes. Stylistic sets offer alternates including a serifless capital I, a double-storied g, and variant forms of M, N, W and w.
Classification
A geometric sans with rounded terminals and prominent ink-traps, positioned between display and text use. Its cushion-like letterforms and stylistic alternates place it firmly in the geometric tradition with distinctive softened endings.
