Redonda
Plau · Carlos Mignot
A Brazilian humanist sans by Carlos Mignot that began life as a heavy geometric display face before expanding into a full, wide-ranging family with condensed and compressed widths.
About
Designed originally as a custom face for Plau's own branding, Redonda grew into a 36-style retail release spanning Light to Black across standard, condensed and compressed widths, each with matching italics. A variable font is also included, offering continuous control over weight, width and slant. Alternates for geometric and humanist forms of key letters such as 'a', 'g' and 'c' allow the typeface to shift character depending on context, from compact logotypes to body copy in UI.
Classification
Described by Plau as a humanist sans that evolved from a geometric starting point; the dual personality between humanist warmth and geometric aspiration places it firmly in the humanist sans subcategory with geometric leanings.
