Author's note

Newtown by Roger White is a free futuristic geometric sans serif built from broad, weighty strokes, near-circular curves, and sharply cut internal shapes. Angular joins cut sharply into the rounded forms.

Its retro-futurist styling is especially convincing in science-fiction posters, arcade game graphics, and electronic music packaging, where the lettering can echo machinery and simplified digital interfaces. The same combination of blunt geometry and smooth curves also suits technology branding and event signage, and its broad silhouette can function almost like a label stamped onto equipment, linking those different settings through a hard-edged industrial look rather than conventional corporate polish.
