From the Foundry:
“Euclid Mono Vanguard brings a distinct style to the table, expanding the palette of typographic expression. It redefines what a geometric mono can be, while staying true to the Euclid spirit. The accelerating forms for ‘S’/‘s’ and ‘Z’/‘z’ thwart any rigidity that may be caused by the fixed widths. ‘M’ and ‘W’/‘w’ have diagonals, but not like you’d think. Together with the capital ligatures, they represent a contemporary nod to the special features of Avant Garde Gothic, a milestone of geometric type design that keeps providing inspiration half a century after its release. There are alts for those dancing glyphs, but don’t expect to find a safe fallback. Circle + right angle: ‘Q’ sums up the Euclidian mindset.”
