"LL circular is a new take on a classic genre. In the process of making the font, the purely geometric approach gave way to more complex formal conception, resulting in a geometric sans serif merging purity with warmth. Strinking a balance between fnctionality, conceptual rigor, skilled workmanship, and measured idiosyncasy, LL circular is a friendly sans serif with unmistakableO character and universal appeal."
