The logotype reminds me of Font Awesome for some reason

It’s probably a tweaked version of Secca Extra Bold or Botanika Bold.

So it is! I see that it was tweaked quite heavily; rounded corners on all the glyphs, altered ‘G’, ‘i’, and ‘t’, different weight, etc.

Were you involved in the design process? How was Apex selected? It’s not a particularly well-known font and it’s for sale at very few places.
