The cassette inlay of Andrew Braybrook’s Commodore 64 game Paradroid as published by Hewson Consultants.

From the top line in Eras Bold to the title’s wonderfully retro Data 70, from the cheesy Stop of the company name to the sober Helvetica for the instructions, this little artifact oozes “eighties” like the best of the crop.

The choice of typeface for the Paradroid title is reflected in the game as well, augmented by another famous and meticulously pixeled typeface, Motter Tektura.
