Martin Wait’s Company (Letraset, 1978), in use for the packaging of Entombed, designed by Tom Sloper, programmed by Steven Sidley, and released in 1982 by U.S. Games. Greg Rozeboom comments:

A 1982 maze game called Entombed, for the Atari 2600. The game programming contains a table of values that make the mazes that are generated solvable. To this day, researchers do not know how these values were generated and cannot produce any algorithm to generate said values.

Company is used in orange caps, with black outline and a bold red contour. In the same year, the futuristic semi-slab was also chosen for the New Demon Attack video game.
