This is amazing—love it!
Now I know: It’s an anonymous 1990s digitization of Motter Tektura. The S with the thin spine is not the only flaw in this amateurish take. Better avoid. It’s a bummer that Motter Fonts (run by the designer’s son Siegmund Motter) haven’t released their official digital version yet.
I love this.
The compact cassette design is, i feel, a reference to the design of ZX Spectrum game tapes in the 1980s, in particular those made by Psion such as the emblematic Horace Goes Skiing. Of course, the whole thing is “very 1980s” so unlikely to pin down any particular referent.
For what it’s worth, quite commendable pixel version of Motter Tektura features in the video game Paradroid.
