I released Valve on March 30, 2022. It was an experiment in pushing superelliptical forms into a high-tech aesthetic. The letters were built around soft, squared outlines with blunt stroke endings, giving them a mechanical but fluid quality. I wanted it to feel like a controlled system—machinery or flow regulation translated into type.

The name Valve came directly from that idea of machinery and flow control. From the beginning, it was a commercial release and was never distributed for free. I designed it for both display and text settings, though its character lends itself more naturally to large-scale use.

Valve has not been updated since its release, and it has not been used in notable projects. It remains as it was first drawn, a geometric experiment that balances superelliptical construction with a technological tone.
