This font is amazing, do you have any notion as to what it might be?

Maybe it's Ciutadella bold :)

its probably Helvetica Medium thats been slightly narrowed on an optical printer.

whaletheboar.bsky.social•164 days ago

Yeah, I could see that; the k is pretty iconic. Too bad, I was hoping for something excitingly retro.

themerl.bsky.social•164 days ago

no idea unfortunately! but it's beautiful isn't it?

It’s great! Giving Microsoft Zune GUI energy.

Is it just Helvetica? I am not an expert but looks v. much the same with tighter kerning to me 😀

Pretty sure those are all titles of Guided by Voices songs

Hi - I thought I'd have a go at following your suggestion for the music to go with the image - here's 'Buildings For The Single Suckled Herd' in the style of Broken Social Scene:

Looks more like a 60s horror movie title!

themerl.bsky.social•164 days ago

also mid-00s indie but this time it’s And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Had an apple storage thing. Space for hundreds. Unfortunately it got woodworm and died.

This scans to "Boxes for the Move" by Bodega.

themerl.bsky.social•164 days ago

Sufjan Stevens’ concept album about sick chickens. for some reason the label didn’t go for it

This could be any bunch of dudes in ironic cycling caps circa 2016. Frankly we’re not convinced this isn’t a real album that got put on our database by mistake.

(also damn we gotta put this on some merch)
