Metastasis
collaboration with Neal Fletcher
available from The Type Foundry
As with everything in life too much of the same thing can make you sick. In the past two decades the Germans have overindulged in the use of Meta. It is everywhere, in airports, on signage, on TV and in corporate literature. Meta has become synonymous with the German middle ground. Almost too convenient and easy to digest it has spread like a disease.
Metastasis is an unauthorised cancerous variant of the original. It comes in two weights reflecting the stages of the disease: M-0 (curable) and M-1 (incurable).
