Round Condensed
Bureau Brut · Yoann Minet · 2024
A condensed companion to Round, designed so that circular letterforms retain their full width while every other character narrows, creating graphic tension between round and straight.
About
Designed by Yoann Minet and released in 2024, Round Condensed keeps the circular letters of Round at their original size, allowing them to stand out against the narrowed characters around them. The family runs across seven weights from Light to Black, each with an italic, giving 14 styles in total. Intended for display use in titles, editorial layouts and visual identities, it is built to work in direct combination with Round, sharing the same circular forms across both families for mixed-size compositions.
Classification
A geometric sans built around circular letter forms that retain full width even within condensed proportions, with straight strokes crossing circular shapes to create a structural tension between geometry and fluidity.
