A first font for 2025

2024 was a slow year for developing new typefaces. As the year ended,  I developed Scirckel, an experimental font whose lower-case letters and most of the upper-case letters contain circles or parts of a circle. It is sans serif but, because some of the letters shapes are a bit odd, probably not a good choice for long text. It may be useful when a sans-serif font with a bit of whimsy is needed. It was designed as an attempt to incorporate a circle in as many letters as I could. It is a decorative and somewhat weird sans serif.

There are alternates for six of the odder letters, the f, g, m, v, w, and z. The can be accessed in OpenType aware applications. The family has four weights and matching obliques.

It is available from myfonts and fontspring.
