AOETI ARCHIVAL RECORD — ENTRY No. MKR-77 Dot-Marquee Lettering System (KISS-Inspired Variant) Catalogued as MKR-77, Strutter AOE represents a preserved specimen from the late-20th-century era of electrified stage branding and analog marquee engineering. Constructed entirely from a uniform grid of circular “bulb units,” each glyph is formed as though assembled from the light arrays used on touring stage rigs, concert signage, and promotional billboards of the glam-rock period. The structure of the letters reflects the theatrical geometry associated with high-visibility performance identities: sharp diagonals, reinforced verticals, and angular symmetry reminiscent of the iconic hard-rock emblematic style of the 1970s. These shapes—recreated here through precise dot-matrix patterning—retain the aggression and spectacle of their source influences while translating them into a modular, archival-friendly grid. Each bulb-unit is evenly spaced, imitating the incandescent housings used in road-worn stage equipment. The resulting texture captures the feel of stadium lights frozen mid-blaze, preserving the illusion of an illuminated surface without the heat or motion of its original medium. The alphabet appears simultaneously technical and theatrical: a system designed for legibility at distance, yet unmistakably tied to rock-era visual excess. Uppercase characters present the most definitive expression of the style, with emphasis on electrically charged forms and exaggerated angularity. The recurring “light grid” effect suggests a blueprint for signage that might once have adorned arena entrances, backstage corridors, or traveling tour trucks. This specimen survives as an archival reconstruction of a cultural moment when typography, stagecraft, and spectacle merged into a single industrial-artistic language. Strutter AOE stands as both documentation and homage—a dot-matrix monument to amplifiers, pyrotechnics, and the bold graphic signatures that defined rock iconography.

Strutter AOE

À propos Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
