The importance of the typeface used on my notes cannot be made more clear. I explored highly legible, modernist typefaces such as Helvetica, Roboto and San Francisco, but decided there was something overly realistic and practical to them, whereas the point of my note was to explore the world of sci-fi and alternative space exploration.
This is when I started noticing ITC Blair. I saw it first on some future packaging by BlackBerry, then on multiple publications regarding America, and then on a massive number of science fiction books, specifically those by Iain M. Banks. Its sharp roundedness and depth, as well as its retro-futurism, made it ideal for my banknotes.
