An original family drawing on the organic geometry of MICR banking type, expanded into a large system that includes arrows, icons and border and grid elements.
About
MICR technology, developed in the mid-1950s for banking documents, inspired a strand of typeface design in the 1960s and 70s that became shorthand for futurism in science fiction contexts. Ender begins with that aesthetic and develops it into an original series of fonts carrying thousands of characters alongside supplementary graphic elements. The family acknowledges the lasting influence of that mid-century modular approach on contemporary type design.
Classification
Original design rooted in the MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) aesthetic of the 1950s-70s, with modular geometric construction and extended character sets including arrows, icons and border elements.
