Cyclops: A display typeface with variable width and variable optical size.

Cyclops is a typeface full of character, perfectly suited for packaging, games and campaigns. Its smooth curves create a warm vibe and its overall compactness and fixed height make it perfect for tight type setting with a homogenous line height. Even the accents are implemented into the letter-height to keep the overall line height consistent. The Cyclops typeface was designed with the variable font format in mind — giving a variety of opportunities to the user.

This fun but highly professional typeface comes around the corner when an eye catching display face with a punch is needed. Cyclops has flexible letters which work in condensed as well as in extended dimensions. The heavy but smooth shapes let it appear like a gentle giant, whispering with an enormous volume.

From ultra condensed to an ultra extended, the Cyclops typeface covers a wide range of letter widths. This helps to adjust the perfect width for your project.

Sometimes a designer needs a more wide appearence and sometimes the space is limited. The typeface delivers a flexible letterwidth to find the perfect width for the project. It is also possible to combine or mix different widths for emphazising specific areas. With the help of the variable font techique, the letterwidth can be adjusted seamlessly.

On top of the the traditional width axis, Cyclops has an optical size axis. We optimized the top range of the optical size axis for use in big sizes with tight spacing and maximum weight, whilst the other end of the optical size axis, called tiny, is optimized for smaller sizes. The spacing is wider to avoid the letter from melting together in small sizes and the countershapes are opened up to prevent the letters from becoming to bold. With this additional option Cyclops can also be used in smaller sizes, screens and side infos.
