Mysteron specimen from Paulo Goode

A grid-based modular display typeface in 48 fonts across Solid, Stencil and Notched styles, named after the fictional Martian race from the 1960s series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

About

Built on a strict repeating grid with optical corrections for legibility, the family spans eight weights with matching italics across three distinct subfamilies: Solid, Stencil and Notched. A Stylistic Set provides perfectly rounded alternates, intended to break the grid selectively in logotype or titles. At 550+ glyphs, the character set covers Latin European languages and includes old-style figures, fractions, and superior and inferior figures.

Classification

A strict grid-based modular typeface with repeating geometric forms, designed exclusively for display use. Its structured construction, stencil and notched variants, and futuristic character place it firmly in the display category with a geometric modular subcategory.
