About the family


Rounded display type often becomes childish by becoming simpler. Permanence takes a stranger route. Its broad, swollen forms have the friendliness of molded plastic, but underneath them sits a machine-age geometric skeleton. The result can feel cute, psychedelic and technical at the same time.

That combination suits beauty packaging that behaves more like a collectible object than a restrained cosmetic container. Lip oils, nail products, compact cosmetics, pimple-patch packs and playful skincare can use Permanence for product names and collection titles; translucent plastics, jelly finishes, chrome and iridescent surfaces all complement lettering that already looks almost molded.

Collectible toys push the same idea further. Blind-box figures, soft-vinyl characters, capsule toys, miniatures and keychains give Permanence a physical world that matches its proportions. Series names and packaging can feel chunky and approachable without slipping into preschool typography; the unusual geometric details keep the softness from becoming generic.

The same quality works for bag charms, resin jewellery, translucent sunglasses, playful watches and other accessories that blur the line between fashion and collectible object. Friendly technology provides another contemporary direction: desktop robots, smart pet devices, coding toys and educational electronics can use Permanence for names and packaging without falling back on severe angular techno lettering.

Permanence is strongest when something technical has been turned into an object of affection: a cosmetic compact, collectible figure, translucent accessory or small companion robot. Its heavy rounded geometry makes those products inviting, while the underlying construction keeps them from becoming merely bubbly.
