Rillus
sans · 2023
Rillus is a geometric sans-serif typeface based on a Swiss lettering from 1936. It seeks resonance in the great typefaces of its genre from the 20th century like Futura, Avant Garde or even the playful forms of photo-lettering Bauhaus faces. Its monolinear tone and enhanced dots can also evoke conceptual artworks from the 1970s, where simplicity meets wit. Rillus is round and friendly, yet intended to keep a radical approach, with its idiosyncratic letters like the closed-dot “i”, “g” and “s”. As the weight increases, letters get clogged up, conferring the display vibe we like to see in darker styles.
