GUN MAGIC TECHNO POP

Andy Pressman @andypressman.itch.io · 12mo ago

I'm laying out Gun Magic Techno Pop in Focal and it's such a blast to work with. I wish phototypesetting had still been in use when I began my career, I would have eaten that shit up. Focal designed by @greggazdowicz.bsky.social, available from @commercialtype.bsky.social

The inside cover and front page of Gun Magic Techno Pop. The inside cover reads "It's 1999 and time is speeding up," with the 'p' in arc being looped endlessly, getting skinnier and skinnier, as if the word were being squeezed into a high-pitch electronic note. The other page is a lengthy book introduction.

A later spread from Gun Magic Techno Pop. On the left-hand page is an overview of how characters work in the game, with a diagram of the character sheet itself. On the right-hand page is a character sheet for the Mundane Mage. The character description reads "Make the trains run on time."

New in the Vault: Caslon Ionic Rounded, adapted from Caslon Ionic by @greggazdowicz.bsky.social vault.commercialtype.com

There are certain visual motifs we keep coming back to. Stencils are great. We never get tired of swashes. And we love soft letterforms. (Caslon Ionic Rounded Light)

Softness adds warmth and charm. (Caslon Ionic Rounded Extrabold)

Greg Gazdowicz has spent
the last few years exploring various aspects of softness in type: in contrast with sharpness, in Terza; as an artefact of production processes, in Focal; and now the transformative properties of softness when applied to a historical genre — the Ionic — known for its solidity. (Caslon Ionic Rounded Medium Italic)

I recently added a Display family to the Terza collection, adapting it for tighter leading, with shortened ascenders and descenders, and with tighter tracking for punchy headlines. License the family or download a free trial version at commercialtype.com/catalog/terza
