displaygeometric inline display (Bauhaus-inspired)
A faithful digitisation of Douglas F. Jones' 1972 inline geometric alphabet, originally cut for the Visual Graphics Corporation's Photo Typositor headline machine.
About
Skin & Bones started as Douglas F. Jones' design for the Visual Graphics Corporation's Photo Typositor, a headline-setting machine, drawing on Herbert Bayer's Bauhaus geometric alphabets and adding an inline treatment Jones thought would look good. In 2017 Jones gave Simonson permission to make an official digital version, faithful to the 1972 original but with a larger character set.
Classification
A geometric alphabet with an inline treatment, classed display given its Bauhaus-derived headline-setting origins on the Photo Typositor.
