For issue nine of FUSE (Auto), Neville Brody revisited his 1992 typeface Blur in which the letterforms appear slightly out of focus as if they have been cheaply reprinted with a photocopier. Brody inverted Blur’s characters so that the negative space of each letter became the dominant feature, furthering his investigations into the outer limits of legibility. Autosuggestion was released as a bonus font. While there were no strict rules about how many typefaces could be released per issue, typically FUSE featured four “official” fonts and at least one bonus font, all reflective of that edition’s theme. This poster promotes the entire issue and not just the typeface, featuring the names of the other type designers—Mario Beernaert, Margaret Calvert, Russell Mills, and Vaughan Oliver—in the central image.
