MD Nichrome
A display typeface distilling the genre typography of 1970s and early 1980s sci-fi paperbacks, drawing on multiple dry transfer and phototypesetting-era sources rather than reviving any single face.
About
Eight weights from Infra to Ultra, each with an oblique companion, delivered as a two-axis variable font covering weight and slant. The design synthesises details from numerous typefaces of the era that were originally produced for dry transfer or phototypesetting and never received a considered digital translation. Extended Latin coverage spans a very broad range of languages, making it practical well beyond purely decorative use.
Classification
Explicitly designed as a display typeface referencing the genre typography of 1970s and early 1980s sci-fi paperbacks, drawing on dry transfer and phototypesetting-era letterforms rather than any single historical revival.
