The Apollo Program Font Set
Emigre · Elliott Peter Earls · 1993
A set of six experimental display typefaces by Elliott Peter Earls, produced between 1993 and 1998, each exploring layered, three-dimensional and shadow-based treatments typical of 1990s Emigre design.
About
The six fonts span a range of approaches: dropshadow, jigsaw, 3D light and dark extrusions, and outlined variants, each built around Earls's idiosyncratic letterforms. They were produced during the height of Emigre's cultural influence, when digital type design was being treated as a medium for visual experimentation rather than typographic utility. The set is sold individually or as a discounted package.
Classification
A collection of six highly experimental display typefaces created in the mid-1990s, each with distinct decorative treatments including dropshadows, 3D extrusions and outlined variants. Firmly within the expressive, deconstructivist display tradition of Emigre's output.
