Author's note

Crypt of 1950 by Kelsey Higham of FontStruct is a free angular techno display font built from broad rectangular strokes, hard right angles, and sharply clipped corners. Its caps have the blunt geometry of cut metal panels.

It is especially convincing on game title cards, where the cut-in gaps and squared silhouettes suggest machinery, fortified architecture, and early computer hardware. The same industrial construction suits science-fiction posters, electronic music packaging, and arcade merchandise, linking each application through lettering that can read as part of a machine or interface rather than ordinary text.
