Zed Round
The rounded-terminal subfamily within Typotheque's Zed system, spanning nine widths and nine weights with slanted and backslanted companions for each style.
About
Zed Round sits within a sprawling type system that runs from Extra-Compressed to Extra-Wide across both display and text optical sizes, sharing proportional architecture with the sharper Zed Display cuts. Each weight from Hairline to Black comes in upright, slanted and backslanted variants, named after world cities, giving designers a total of 27 styles within this subfamily alone. The rounded terminals soften the geometric construction for contexts where the harder Display cuts would feel too severe.
Classification
Zed Round is part of a large geometric display system with multiple width variants; the Round subfamily features rounded terminals distinguishing it from the sharper Display cuts, placing it firmly in geometric display territory.
