Simulacra specimen from Benjamin Tuttle

A 1960s-futurist display face whose weight slides from one side of the letter to the other.

About

Simulacra is a tribute to Maurice Binder's titles for Billion Dollar Brain, with the square, machine-read look of MICR characters. A stress axis moves the heavy strokes left, centre or right, so a word can lean visually without slanting. The character set is basic Latin for now (v0.1).

Classification

Mid-century futurist forms in the orbit of MICR lettering, with a variable 'stress' axis that shifts the weight from the left side of each stroke to the right. Basic Latin only so far.
