Context

RS Display was designed for Boreham Motorworks, the specialist automotive marque connected to Ford icons including Escort and RS200 programmes.

This page presents the typeface as a specimen: live samples, switchable test fields, controlled comparison rows, alternates, and complete character sets.

Direction

The page stays within the existing project template while giving the custom letterforms enough scale to behave like the work itself.

RS-DISPLAY-STRIKE carries the engineered, high-contrast display voice, with animated OpenType alternates. RS-DISPLAY-SOLID supports the system with heavier, more direct moments.
