Author's note

ProtoSans12 by Roman Gornitsky is a free techno display font built from rigid, monoline strokes. Squared forms, open joins, and abrupt right angles give the lettering the spare look of an early digital interface.

A software brand or electronics maker could use it for logos and packaging that reference circuitry and screen graphics. It also suits game menus and electronic-music posters. In editorial design, its modular letterforms can turn a technology feature or experimental magazine cover into a graphic system of repeating rails, boxes, and right angles across the page.
