The future is squarish. Georg Trump understood it in 1930 when he designed City. Hermann Zapf knew it in 1952 when he created Melior. Aldo Novarese understood it in 1962 when he created Eurostile. Center isn't about to argue. Based on a rounded rectangular shape, its geometry has actually been subtly improved for smoother reading. Its branches are angled in tribute to OCR-A. Its terminals are gently softened. A combination of open counters, unquestionable curves, and ruler-straight vertical and horizontal strokes fit it very well for onscreen screen. This redrawn and expanded variation of the best-selling text/display household now boasts nine weights, varying from the taut, elegant Thin to the huge Ultra, each with a coordinating italic. Tabular figures duplex throughout all weights, case-sensitive forms keep punctuation in line, and a range of alternative glyphs let designers vary its state of mind at will. A complete variety of diacritics provides support for over 130 languages. And, naturally, it gets on well with its more bookish sibling, Center Slab.
