displaygeometric display
A layered display typeface drawing on the postmodern, fanciful typography of late-1980s Japanese advertising.
About
Inspired by a brief wave of decorative postmodernism in 1980s Japan, the typeface pairs a voluminous geometric structure with rounded stencil joints and a classic open style. Five styles function as stackable printing plates, allowing separate colours to be assigned to each layer for multi-colour compositions. Suited to posters, packaging and branding where layered typographic play is the intent.
Classification
A geometric, stencil-jointed display typeface with open-style layering, designed explicitly for decorative and expressive use; the voluminous, postmodern structure and layered colour system place it firmly in display territory.
