“Neuromancer” is Bank Gothic, I believe.

Yes! Thank you engelhardt!

The other one is a bit odd, but it can be identified by the roof on the capital I, as well as the curves of the two “bowls” of the capital B extending beyond its back.

The other one is Orator.

Good reading for an ascending master.

If you like Bank Gothic, you may like Oxide as well.

Jupiterboy: ;-) All of today’s sci-fi owes a debt to Gibson.

Oxide looks very good. I’m liking these futuristic (but not overly so) sans faces.

Mark: Thank you, that’s right.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

It’s funny that these are thought of as futuristic. Bank Gothic is from around 1930. Orator was designed for typewriters. I think the reason they work is that they look cold and mechanical. Cold and mechanical is how a lot of people think of the future.

Many graphic designers (including our Joe) can’t stand Bank Gothic.
But to me anything from the recent past that lasts until today is
pretty impressive… especially if it has to do with futurism!

Bank Gothic was (apparently) designed for use on business cards, forms, etc. An alternative to Copperplate Gothic. Tiny type, mostly. Not really meant to be a display face. Personally, I have always liked it, but it’s a bit overused.
