Traveller, Max Kisman. 1990.

This geometric typeface featured in Rick Poynor’s Typography Now 1 (Booth-Clibborn Editions, London UK, 1991).

Later, discussing these kinds of angular styles, the critic Rick Poynor noted that “fate has overtaken the angular post-constructivist type design of Neville Brody, Zuzana Licko and Max Kisman”. Poynor described a process by which typefaces, once “fresh, unexpected, precisely attuned to the moment”, get used increasingly often in less and less appropriate contexts and end up looking “irredeemably passé”.
