Scanner was designed by Alan Meeks and released as a Letraset original forty years ago, in 1983. Here it can be seen in early use for a series of booklets by Centerstream Publishing from 1984: the designer cleverly picked up on the typeface’s stripe pattern and built the whole cover around it, alluding both to staves and strings.
