Roller Disco, Doors at 9

In 1931 Rudolf Koch designed Prisma, 1 of the display types of the metal press era. Vernon Adams went back to that family of ideas in 2011 and came out with Monoton, a contemporary version built for web browsers.

He meant it purely for display, over 30 points, and he was right to set the floor that high. The letters are wide and the lowercase is almost as tall as the capitals, so even a short word fills the space. Use 1 or 2 words at a time, a roller disco poster or a bar’s logo, and let it be big.
