5. And, lastly, an amazing discovery: A 1956 font by Fred P. Brooks, Jr. – the author of “The Mythical Man-Month”! It’s actually a bit of a cross between Nixie and segment font (overlapping segments), and it is an absolutely GORGEOUS art deco font. Look at those digits!pic.twitter.com/TTadostDMC

Thanks again to @obra and others who helped in finding those!
My friend @julesforrest found a brilliant example of a different kind of segmented typography: digits made out of pipe fragments and connectors.pic.twitter.com/tQvy9ufA3s
