Neotype began as a college lettering project for Mark Simonson in 1976 when he was 20 years old. It was his first attempt at designing a typeface and is what made him fall in love with type design. Fifty years later, he picked up where he left off and finished it as a full-featured digital type family. It’s a geometric sans serif display face with a unicase design, modeled on uncial script, the origin of our modern lowercase letters. The result is a design that, in today’s world, feels retro-futuristic. In effect, it’s a revival of an unreleased 1970s techno typeface and would feel right at home in a science fiction or high-tech context. Although it’s meant for display use, it also works as an unconventional choice for text. It comes as a variable font with a weight axis and includes many alternate characters and custom dingbats.
