Joystick Шрифт

Joystick by Neale Davidson of Pixel Sagas is a free condensed sans serif with towering capitals and a forceful, poster-scale silhouette. Its strokes swell into softly rounded joins, giving the narrow forms a rubbery quality rather than a strictly geometric finish. Widths vary noticeably, from broad open shapes to tightly packed vertical forms.

A concert poster is an especially convincing setting for this dense lettering, whose upright beat suits electronic music, club events, and arcade-themed merchandise. In magazine design, it can turn cover lines and section openers into graphic bars of type, linking editorial pages to the same punchy entertainment aesthetic.
