Glammo
A single-weight display face born from a David Bowie festival poster commission, drawing on techno culture, AKIRA and the Designers Republic for a deliberately unsettling 1990s aesthetic.
About
Commissioned for a typographic poster tied to Bowie's BLACK TIE WHITE NOISE, Glammo channels the dark edge of early 1990s techno and anime visual culture into a single display weight. The Designers Republic influence is legible in its sleek-yet-wrong geometry, evoking both the era's graphic maximalism and its undercurrent of anxiety. Available as a single style with desktop, web and app licences.
Classification
Glammo is a display typeface with explicit references to techno culture, AKIRA and the Designers Republic, placing it firmly in the techno/industrial display subcategory with a dark 1990s aesthetic.
