Disc Font is a tightly-spaced display sans with relatively low contrast and a condensed structure. The design finds its origins in Harry Winters’ Roslyn Gothic, designed in 1972 for Visual Graphics Corporation. Or, to be more accurate, what initially sparked my interest was a spread from an Industrial Art Methods magazine from December 1972, where the name Roslyn Gothic is set with a surprising amount of negative tracking, resulting in some letters bumping into each other. This gives the typeface a sort of edgy flavor, contrasting with its otherwise rather humanistic feel.
