Quell is a novel attempt to bridge the gap between geometrically constructed shapes on the one hand, and modulated strokes and subtle calligraphic influence on the other hand.

The visual tension in Quell stems from conflict between two tendencies: The perfectly round shapes are geometrically constructed, yet the contrast of stroke widths and oblique line terminations suggest calligraphic roots.

How this dualism affects typographic impression is up to designers and typographers using Quell as variable font the seamless transition between modulated contrast and linear appearance offers unique typographic possibilities.

Linear appearance gives the text a solid and compelling voice, whereas the modulated styles convey elegance, vibrance and a delicate tone.

More Quell is suited to display setting, headlines, way finding and identity.

The combination of linear and contrast variants provides typographic range to convey different stance while rooted in the same visual heritage.

In short paragraph typesetting the fonts have a modern look and characterful tone, but should not be overused for longer texts.

Quell has been in development for over a year, and is the proud first release under the Underscore label.

Released in 2018 this design by Johannes Neumeier is available from the Underscore webshop as well as selected retailers.
