Gods is a custom typeface designed for Ian Lynam’s 2016 exhibition and book “Species Regret”. (https://ianlynam.com/work/species-regret/)
The intro from the book:
“Today, we live in more or less a godless world—we look to the collapse of the Greek economy rather than to Hellenic tradition. This eschewing of the past and what is culturally perceived as the basis of Western civilization offers up further identification with the gods and heroes of yore: if gods and their offspring walked the earth today, they would be irrelevant beings of tradition and immense might. Simultaneously, they would be losers of the sorest sort—defeated, withdrawn, aimless and immensely fucked-up.”
Gods works for text and for display. Vaguely based on old American jobbing types, but weird & fucked up. Rigorous spacing. Alts galore. As Poison Idea put it best, “Pick your king”!
