RationaleOne-Regular Font
Author's note
Rationale One by Cyreal is a free techno display font whose extremely tall, narrow letters create a sleek, engineered silhouette with a hint of retro futurism. Its rounded bends soften the strict upright strokes.
It is especially convincing for technology branding where the compressed width and elongated forms recall instrument panels, slim electronics, and futuristic hardware. Electronic music posters and game interfaces also benefit from its controlled mechanical appearance, which makes text resemble labeling on a purpose-built device. In another vein, the clean geometry gives product packaging and event graphics a decidedly industrial edge that remains neat rather than aggressive.

Description
Rationale One is a compact monoline webfont designed to work well on screen from large headlines to 12 pt body copy.
The concept was to create a modular-based font with optical corrections guided by snap eye judgements. Such irregularities add a warm impression to the overall strict geometrical logic.
The idea of subtle stroke cuts originated from the letter n, and was selectively incorporated throughout the characters. This feature becomes visible from 36 pt and above. In body sizes stroke cuts enrich the typographic color with light nuances.
Designed by Alexei Vanyashin in cooperation with Olexa Volochay and Vladimir Pavlikov.
