Cloaked Humanity
For whatever reason, tonight I ended up staying up till 2:30 AM doing nothing particularly important.
Inspired by a few letterforms I saw on a newspaper cover by Mark Manders and Marije Langelaar, I ended up making a typeface that I don’t need, a poster with a great quote from Neil Postman, and a few sketchbooks to go along with the theme.
“Cloaked Humanity” seemed like the perfect name for a typeface that looked so digital. The quote by Neil Postman is one of my favorites from his book “Technopoly”
“There is no escaping from ourselves, the human dilemma is as it has always been and we solve nothing fundamental by cloaking ourselves in technological glory.”
Here’s a photo of the sketchbook cover to go along with the poster art.

So this is the typeface you designed? It’s really cool. Especially as a poster. Well done.
