Fascinating to look back at this 90s design now and see the parallels with “Deconstructivist” architecture that was also a reaction to Modernism (which is actually kind of Baroque in spirit) and started just slightly earlier in the 80s I think.

Very cool precursor to the digital design of the early 2000s, but done in the late 90s. Raygun Magazine issue 51, 1997.

I always attributed this tightly tracked Helvetica black aesthetic and digital-esque
typesetting to early 2000s designers and didn't know about this direct connection with the [analog] late 90s
