Tech-Mech Sans

 

There are plenty conventional models of type design — those that deal with expansion and mono-linear methods, or iconic and classic genres like Didones or Grotesques — but every now and again something pops up that makes you scratch your head and say, “What’s going on here?”. This bubble is all about what we’re calling the Tech-Mech Sans — a blending of square and round shapes with contrast in the ordinal poles to make what appear to be gears, cams, or digital-inspired lines that carve out their own new little area of the type design map.
