Hello
Infinity by Thirstype.
About Infinity
Infinity was originally designed at Thirst as part of an identity program for U. S. Robotics; Rick Valicenti and chester worked together to develop a logo and logotype for the then-3com-owned company. (The logo was never used, and the client now works as a shop assistant, but that's another story.)

Infinity is a constructed, but not gridded, design which works extremely well for logos and other display applications, but it works surprisingly well in text. The type family was optimised for text setting when we were using it in the design of the Thirst monograph, "Emotion as Promotion". There are true small caps for the roman weights, and interesting italics, made by skewing and rotating, then correcting the letterforms.

The typeface is often described as "futuristic", but not "science fiction", and has been used for film titles, numerous logos, and ad campaigns for Subaru, Nintendo, Nike, and Adidas.
