Squil
Black Foundry · Black Foundry Designers
A humanist sans with pinched stems and a calligraphic axis, available in crisp and rounded styles across five weights with a variable font included.
About
Squil draws on the qualities of an imaginary handwriting tool to produce a humanist sans with pinched stems, softly angled stress and gently curved terminals. The family splits into a standard and a rounded subfamily, each running from Light to Extra Bold, with a variable font offering continuous control over terminal style from straight to rounded. It handles both headline and body text confidently without the stiffness typical of geometric or grotesque designs.
Classification
Squil is a humanist sans-serif shaped by an imaginary handwriting tool, with pinched stems, a slightly angled stress axis and soft curves that reference calligraphic origins. The rounded subfamily further reinforces its warm, organic character.
