I got to make the posters for this release. Super fun, felt like going back to my roots to work on a type specimen page again.

This was a really fun story to work on because @evilrabbit_ and @MarkFonts care as much about word choice and tone as they do about the exact angle of the eye in individual characters. Incredible work, gentleman.

my process: test as many engineered iterations based on my single upcoming release as possible. i built a foundry tool that measures strokes as parts and thickens desired outlines directly, so i can set real words and see which strokes need weight for a future text cut. breaks stems and strokes into italic. it looks weird. that's the point – at Brooklyn, NY

had to include— found inspiration from geist pixel and geist sans— how geist sans has square dots when most swiss-style fonts can lean into softer round dots, I wanted to bring more dot options. from ■ to the unmistakable ▲ and ♥. – at Brooklyn, NY
