About
Released in August 2024, BTC Acid House captures the bold, rhythmic aesthetic of the Acid House movement through strong, dynamic letterforms. The design aims to translate sonic qualities — the deep bass and squelch of the TB-303 — into typographic form. At ten dollars for one weight, it sits squarely in the boutique display niche.
Classification
A bold display typeface with rhythmic, expressive forms drawing from late 1980s Acid House visual culture. Its strong, dynamic character and retro aesthetic place it firmly in the display category.
