New typeface: Repose

Proportional and quadrospaced sans serifs in a new collection by Philipp Neumeyer

29 May 2025


Repose is a complex-sounding collection of six variations of a single uppercase-only light weight. The first sub-collection follows the spacing approach called Quad. Much like a Monospace, Quadrospace forgoes kerning in favour of simplicity and a technical awkwardness that exudes undeniable charm. The second, more conventional spacing approach is called Prop. It maintains the same dynamic proportions but with minor adjustments and one magical ingredient — kerning!

Both sub-collections come in three styles. A features roundings on all edges. B applies roundings sparingly, only on inside corners. And C disregards them entirely and strolls proudly bald through the typographical landscapes.

Repose demands to be used big and ostentatiously. Whether it’s large movie titles, spread out on record covers, building-sized banners, or haughty headlines.

The typeface is packed with features and supports extended Cyrillic and Latin. It offers a wide range of stylistic sets for alternative letterforms, six sets of brackets, an assortment of arrows and symbols, black- and white-circled figures as well as squared alternatives, and smart contextual alternates.
