Dunwich Type Founders has released a new typeface, Gigalypse. Gigalypse is a one-weight workhorse. As a square sans Gigalypse can look smart, serious, and even futuristic. Round corners and curved sides add warmth and humor tempered by sophisticated geometry. This soft sophistication makes Gigalypse work whenever heavy display type is called for.

Seriously, This is sweet!!!!!! Congratulations, and a job nicely done.
What enabled you to make the jump?
And why no family?—I would say it deserves development, and that would be a good investment.
I did try some prototyping of a family and was not entirely happy with the result. At extreme weightd the squircle is a great shape, but I’m not convinced it works in the middle. And it causes a lot of problems in a family. The width of most letters does not change because the basic squircle needs to be the same. When you start mixing fonts where weights change but some widths don’t it can look like a ransom note. And the huge x-height would dramatically limit the utility of middle weights. Even if I drop it to 76% for lighter weights that’s still too much for most people to use as text.
I will probably revisit the idea of a superelliptical sans family in a few years. I need to let the idea roll around in my head. When I did Downturn I just could not conceive a working lowercase; when I went back after three years it was pretty easy draw (there’s a big Downturn family in development).
Though families are nice to have, I have a soft spot for single-font typefaces which are high-quality and kind of unique.
Some issues to consider:
• Many types have extra bold weights with x-heights that are much larger than in “text” weights, e.g. Gill Sans, Goudy Heavyface, Bodoni Egyptian (well, if it worked for Eric and Fred…)
• Many full-family “text” types have large x-heights; not just mid-century moderns such as Antique Olive and Avant Garde, but recently FF Clan.
• Certain distinctive small x-height faces have become popular (Brandon, Neutraface, &c.), and also large-x faces such as Pluto. If it’s right for the face, build it, they will come.
But don’t wait too long or waste too much time on derivatives—you’re a designer, not a technician.
Sometimes it’s a better idea to strike while the iron is hot (this being the foundry biz!)
