Countdown specimen from ParaType

A single-weight geometric display face designed by Alexander Kustov in 1993, modelled on Colin Brignall's Letraset Countdown of 1965.

About

The typeface draws on the blocky, modular aesthetic of Brignall's 1965 Letraset original, with squared counters and tightly fitted letterforms suited to poster and technical applications. Available in one weight, it retains the condensed, mechanical character of its source material. Published by Type Market and distributed through ParaType.

Classification

The specimen shows tightly packed, modular letterforms with squared-off counters and uniform stroke width, consistent with a geometric display face derived from the Letraset Countdown tradition. The condensed, blocky construction and technical aesthetic place it firmly in the display category.
