Typeface Design for Post

Glitch-to-glyph: a corrupted Courier becomes a distinctive text typeface

Post is a typeface by Displaay whose initial concept was sparked by a pixelated, glitched rendering of Courier found in Nicolas Bourriaud's book Postproduction. The design evolved toward the proportions of canonical 20th-century text typefaces and typewriter letterforms while deliberately subverting conventional construction methods. A defining structural feature is the selective addition of weight to the most character-identifying parts of each letter, a strategy that amplifies display presence while maintaining small-size readability.
