Corporate Cyberspace
コーポレート・サイバースペース / early–late 1990s / Style / Digital Retro
A 1990s commercial style that places the novelty of DTP, telecom, biotech, and multimedia between experimental typography and corporate order. Distortion and transparency appear without destroying the information structure.
Thin sans-serif type stretched, blurred, or made translucent / Digital collages of people, circuits, molecules, and cities / Blue-violet, green, and orange glowing on dark grounds / Corporate order retained through hairlines, numbers, and coordinates
