Designers Note
China Syndrome is a bold, high-impact sans-serif typeface that captures the energy and attitude of urban street culture. Designed with strong geometric influences, it features sharp angles, uniform stroke weights, and a modern aesthetic that makes it ideal for posters, logos, and branding in fashion, music, and digital media. The font’s clean lines and striking presence ensure maximum readability while maintaining visual flair—perfect for headlines, titles, or any design where impact matters. Its versatility allows it to stand out in both print and screen applications, offering a confident voice for creative projects seeking an edgy, contemporary feel. Whether used in minimal layouts or layered with graphics, China Syndrome delivers a powerful statement without sacrificing clarity.
A really, really long time ago, I watched a movie called ‘The China Syndrome’ (starring Jane Fonda, Jack Lemon and Michael Douglas). It was one of those disaster movies that were quite popular at the time (I also recall airports, alien viruses and skyscraper fires). Anyway, when I finished this font, I suddenly (and quite inexplicably) remembered that movie, so I named this font after it.
China Syndrome is a legible brush font - ideal for your product packaging and halloween posters. Maybe use it for a metal album cover, a book about nuclear disasters or, dunno, the logo of your really strong coffee brand.
Whatever. Just enjoy!
