Fellix Font

Martin Vácha designed Fellix, with spacing and kerning by Igino Marini. Displaay dates the initial sketches to 2011 and the release to August 2015. Its creator describes an exploration of early Futura sketches, geometric construction and alternate forms, resulting in a family with its own choices.

Read the publisher’s family page for the source account and the edition currently offered. Keep a family name distinct from its particular release, width or optical branch.

Circular forms connect to vertical stems within a largely monoline structure. Alternate letters explore different balances between circular and square shapes. The current family lists eight weights with italics and variable weight and slant axes. Compare the exact edition, especially when an older document uses a related ellix-family name.

Use the original publisher specimen to inspect those features. An alternative can share a broad role without having the same letter shapes, metrics or character coverage.

Try a short identity heading and a supporting paragraph. Compare ordinary a and g forms with selected alternates, then keep the chosen treatment consistent. Inspect circular-to-stem joins at large size while checking the overall word rhythm at the final output size.

For independent comparisons, try Montserrat and Josefin Sans. Use the same wording and approximate output size. The related style guide provides broader design context.

Use Displaay to try the original and investigate the files, styles and terms for your intended workflow. This site does not distribute or serve Fellix font software.

The editable alternatives here have their own source profiles and included licenses. For the difference between a font file and copied characters, read Unicode text versus fonts.
