Modern Electrics OTF Font Revival
About
MODERN ELECTRICS, the second resurrected typeface by GiGiDesigns, is a monument to the dazzling early electric age. An era of inquirers delighted in sharing homespun experiments to a diaspora of like-minded enthusiasts. It’s at home doodled in the margins of the first electrical magazine for everyone- whose name it shares, & the source of its original 11 letterforms.
It wears an Marconi Has A Posse tee and yearns to be scribbled in ballpoint blue. It was soldered into the desk which launched Amazing Stories. When it hands you a blindfold, you spin around 3x and put a finger down on a map. Kit up. Adventuring begins at dawn.
MODERN ELECTRICS includes 1 font style in .OTF format and comes QWERTY keyboard ready.
- 26 upper case
- 26 lower case
- All QWERTY special characters
- Supports 5 currencies: Dollar, Pound, Euro, Yen, & Yuan
