Author's note

Riss, designed by Lorenz Fidel Huchthausen of FSI FontShop International GmbH, is a free futuristic display font built from sharp angles and broken geometric strokes. Slender lines snap into zigzags, resembling folded metal or electronic circuitry.

A technology brand could use it for logos, packaging, and launch graphics with a severe mechanical edge. It also suits science fiction posters. The design will appeal to audiences interested in experimental electronics, gaming, and industrial culture.
