“Rotor” is a speedy font. In 1929 K. Sommer designed a typeface for Linotype called »Vulcan«, some years later they re-published the typeface and called it “Dynamo”. The early Vulcan design inspired me to do this new, faster typeface in two different “speeds”, meaning I gave the design two opposing slants on the slab-serifs.
In order to make it more useful I drew two sets of each “speed”, one with the white speed traces and one without. And of course I did give it an allover new look, but still kept it a very art deco kind of typeface.
