Question

I wonder if Billy would recognize that Gotham (or in this case, what I think is a close Gotham ripoff) is a Geometric style aping New York 1920s signage, and would thus be okay with it, given that I don't think we'll ever see him using a design sensibility from before WWII ever again

Or if he'd more associate it with, you know [waves around at every modern brand since Obama's campaign]

When all the mysteries of Machina are revealed, our faces will melt off ala Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I think that's Montserrat (one of 'em Google fonts), but they're very close!

Gotham, Montserrat, Avenir, Proxima… I like the clean, geometric lines, but find them more striking when they're in all caps as headline fonts.

Ah yeah, that looks right—I was pretty sure it wasn't some variant of Gotham I just hadn't seen because of that round dot on the i (I don't like saying "tittle"), but I couldn't find the actual thing.

And yeah, Geometric stuff looks best to me when it's all-caps, too. Not a ton of other styles I can say that about.
