Soleil consists of seven weights with respective italics and a twisting, two-sided Escher-like display style called Magic Caps. Soleil fits a wide range of potential applications: signage and wayfinding systems, book and magazine design, branding and corporate publications. Its lettershapes, however, are not the result of brute geometric construction, but of a design process that brings together simplicity with fluid rhythm. Soleil is based on the modernist ideas of clarity and reduction to essential forms. The italics were also meticulously designed rather than simply slanted through digital means. Its personality is seen, for example, in the friendly lowercase ‘f’, the perfect curve of the open ‘c’, the large x-height, and the ampersand. These include asymmetrical counters, a lowercase ‘m’ with a second shoulder that meets while the first is still curving, the increased slant on the top of the ‘t’ as the weight increases, and a large x-height for legibility at a distance or in small sizes. The circle and square provided the obvious foundation for Soleil’s letterforms, but many optical corrections were necessary in order to introduce more fluidity into the rather stiff concept of a contemporary geometric typeface. Soleil sets itself apart through measured characteristics which recognise its rational heritage and still grant it personality.

Where other geometric typefaces lean toward the austere or bland, Soleil gives slight hints of a real personality and bring what could have been another tasteless sans into our current time. Soleil is Wolfgang Homola’s sans serif font family that excels in geometric tranquility.
