Heavy squared Y2K digital blocks with tiny pixel-notch cutouts
Trash Maker
Trash Maker is a heavy squared display in which the letters form thick digital blocks, the counters shrink to slots and tiny pixel notches cut the corners, so a two-word headline reads as early-web graphics.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Trash Maker.
The T spreads a wide flat bar, the r keeps a short shoulder, the a closes a slot-like counter and the k splays two squared arms, with pixel notches taken out of selected corners and an almost solid fill. The digital block is the character: it turns a short phrase into a graphic object, which is why the sample sets two words tight on a dark ground. Because the counters are small, the face wants 36 pt before they stay open and it cuts cleanly from three quarters of an inch of cap height; longer sentences lose the effect. The grid background and the small caption are presentation; the blocky lettering is the face.

Cover mark for a streetwear zine
The digital blocks suit a zine cover, and the pixel notches give a two-word title texture at 70 pt on a printed sheet. Notches are the only detail, so keep the ground flat behind them.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A5 cover: set the title at 70 pt on two tight rows, keep 12 mm between the rows so the blocks read as separate lines, and set the issue number in a 7 pt mono in the corner.
Pre-production check
Two rows set flush read as one solid bar; check the cover proof and open the gap by 4 mm. A grey tint behind each row separates them further.
Tee print for a gaming night
The Y2K mass reads on fabric, and the heavy blocks stay solid at 60 mm across a printed chest in one flat ink. One ink keeps the notches crisp where a gradient would blur them.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 280 mm chest print: set the title at 60 mm, keep every pixel notch at 4 mm minimum, and keep 45 mm of clear shirt beneath for the date line. Keep the print 90 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Notches under 3 mm fill in on a screen print; check the film at full size and thicken the notch rather than the letter.
Sticker for a small online shop
The blocky forms cut into simple shapes, and the notched corners stay whole at 30 mm on a shaped die with pale backing. Pale backing keeps the notches visible against dark garments.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 sticker sheet: set the word at 30 mm, keep 4 mm of clear vinyl around each block, and leave 6 mm of gap between motifs so the die cuts stay separate. Mirror the sheet for reverse-cut vinyl.
Pre-production check
Two blocks closer than 5 mm share a cut line; check the sheet and open the spacing by 2 mm. Weeding is easier when each block keeps its own outline.

Terminal is an eight-bit pixel serif in which the letterforms keep their editorial brackets and serifs while every curve is rebuilt from square blocks, so a title reads as a literary masthead on a vintage screen.
