Three days of non-stop electronic music in an abandoned factory in Mexico City

One strip slips out of line

RUIDO means noise. The wordmark is a clean, heavy signal cut by interference: one strip of the letters slides sideways in sodium orange, the way a bad cable or an overdriven sound system shakes a picture apart.

Ultra-condensed, ultra-heavy
Archivo at 62% width and 900 weight. Tall letters packed together like steel shutters on a factory wall, legible on a stage banner and on a 2 cm wristband.
One displaced strip
A strip through the middle shifts right and turns orange; a hairline below it shifts left. Nothing else moves, so the name reads before the effect does.
Sodium vapour orange
The colour of the old industrial street lamps in Mexico City at 4 a.m. It is the only accent. Everything else is soot, concrete and bone.

The cut R

The same slip, reduced to one letter. Three bars in the corner stand for the three days. It sits on a square so it works on wristbands, profile pictures, favicons and stamped hands.

The mono carries times, stages and gates, so it reads like the labels stencilled on factory machinery.
