Julia Fletcher designed three recent show posters for the band Sextile that feature three fonts from my Megafonts series, Megazoid, Megascope, and Megavolt.
In the San Francisco poster, Acumin, Benny One (Castcraft’s copy of Stan Control), Hellenic Wide, and Automania make appearances in supporting text. She also gave Megazoid a colorful bevel that I would love to add to the typeface itself. (Fletcher has previously customized Megazoid to great effect.)
The more recent New York poster deploys Acumin and Automania as well, adding a bit of Fake Receipt for good measure. The Brooklyn poster from 2022 uses Benny One, Automania, and Berlin Bold.
I appreciate that Fletcher is unafraid to stretch type, and manages to do it in a way that feels of a piece with the warping and stretching of two-dimensional space that is happening in the layouts.
