SQ2 specimen from ParaType

A heavy, condensed display face built from solid rectangular blocks with internal white-line cutouts, designed by Igor Nastenko in 1996.

About

The letterforms are near-monolithic black rectangles, with counters and strokes suggested by fine white slots cut into the mass rather than open space. The unicase construction and extreme weight give it a distinctly industrial, poster-oriented character. Two styles are offered.

Classification

The specimen shows extremely heavy, condensed letterforms built from near-solid rectangular blocks with internal white-line cutouts defining the counters – a geometric, modular construction suited to poster use. The unicase, decorative character places it firmly in the display category.
