Author's note

Labour by Lianne M Elliott is a free techno display font with broad, rounded capitals cut into closely spaced horizontal stripes. The banding creates a crisp scan-line texture.

Music posters are its strongest setting, since the wide mechanical forms can echo stage lighting, equalizers, and electronic production. That same structure also suits arcade game graphics, nightclub branding, and science-fiction event material with an assertive retro-futurist edge. In editorial design, the striped letters can become a recurring graphic device across magazine covers and section openers, linking typography to line-based patterns or technical illustration.

Expansion is planned for the coming months, including additional letters and symbols.
