§ the idea

A 1999 rave flyer printed in the Designers Republic manner: acid lime and volt blue on black, headings knocked out of flat volt bars in ultra-condensed caps, the file tree a numbered line-up of tracks and the per-note panel a fake-corporate data sheet with a giant word count. Flat print only — no glow, no grain, every ornament typographic.
