The Structures of Letter-forms as Metaphor for Futurism .
This is Revelry Sans / a Future Proof Typeface .
ensitivity with minimal nostalgia for the letter-forms of old; Revelry Sans brings you the brevity of communication that has come to be expected in this digital age. Nearing a decade into this new millennium, it's worth taking a look at our notions of Type of the Future. There are many aspects of form in type design that convey a sense of what we associate with the future: The use of Extended or Oblique projects speed; rectilinear form emphasizes Structure; the use of weight and contrast conveys mass or strength; Stroke accentuates line and becomes a metaphor for networks and communication; geometric and mechanical emphasis, or various combinations of these components—whether used in a subtle way or in the most avant-garde experimental design—transform the familiar letterform into something exotic and otherworldly. Obviously, there is no way of knowing what type will look like at the end of the next millennium—or if it will even exist as we know it—but we can look to letter-forms which infer to us A Future as yet Untold.
