Flexed and stiff at first sight, Mars resembles a sturdy interpretation of select vernacular signs from North America. However, its designer blended much more diverse flavors — conjuring the rocky beaches of Seattle, the harbor of Marseille, and the dusty ground of the Red Planet.
Mars comes in a pack of three pills, no more. The dynamic trio consists of a pumped-up extended style and slimmer condensed, with a standard cut in the middle. The three cuts are designed to be worked together, yet they maintain their own singularity as a stand-alone typeface in a wide variety of design projects.
