Gordita

Designed by Australian designer Thomas Gillett, this typeface draws clear inspiration from Futura and Gotham. It feels sharper than Gotham, yet offers a more natural and approachable impression than Futura. The small apertures and meticulously designed ink traps ensure excellent legibility. Furthermore, it features optical corrections to maintain its geometric appearance, much like Futura. With seven different weights, Gordita is highly versatile for various applications.

GT Walsheim

The uppercase "G" is arguably its most prominent feature. With its strong sense of stability and distinct character, GT Walsheim has captivated many designers.

Futura

Often considered the origin of geometric fonts, Futura was designed by the German typeface designer Paul Renner.
Created in the 1920s, it continues to be loved today as a highly legible font.
Film director Wes Anderson is known for his preference for Futura, and the typeface is frequently featured in his films.
