Roundel Font

Roundel by Keith Bates of K-Type is a free retro geometric display font built around circular, badge-like letterforms. Broad curves and blocky strokes meet the surrounding rings, producing compact symbols with the punch of mid-century trademarks.

A record label or streetwear brand could use its emblematic construction for logos and merchandise. The same round forms suit event posters, especially for music or design programs with a strong graphic theme. In editorial design, the letters can function as illustrated section markers or cover elements rather than ordinary type.
