I was shown squared-off lettering on a record label and asked to draw
something similar. Geo, the result, was substantially completed within four
hours in July 1999. It’s a simple geometric typeface in the mould of some of
the experimental faces designed during the 1920s by well-known modernist
designers such as Theo van Doesberg and Herbert Bayer.

 This style found a strong echo in designs of Neville Brody in the 1980s,
which are now identified as an expression of the consumer culture of that
decade. During the 1990s the magazine and font catalogue Emigre was at the
public front of typeface design, and was a place where computer fonts with
this same look appeared.

 I think Geo expresses both the directness of some of the 1920s faces and the
rather disingenuous consumerist thrust of the 1980s and 1990s descendants of
theirs.
