Galix Font Download

Designer: Dave Rowland
Publisher: Schizotype Fonts

In a world where every new release is a thousand font megafamily, it is a particularly (extra)bold move to release a single weight display style. Perhaps.

Galix is a super-elliptical, technical sans; futuristic while avoiding the retro appearance so often associated with this genre. It is a font intended for the covers of science fiction novels. You could use it for other things, I suppose.

But back to the single style thing… It’s my humble opinion that large type families, especially those “font suites” that are so de rigueur, lead to a staleness in design, where things all start to look a bit samey and the fine art of type pairing is dying. So license Galix, see how it works on its own, paired with contrasting fonts, distorted and experimented with by you, the designer. It might just be the lack of versatility you need to focus your design work! But if not, chances are I will extend the family to a range of weights, and should that happen, any updates will be free to early adopters. So go on, give it a try and (extra)boldly go where—you get the idea.
