Fantastic post, I love the Frutiger Aero! Maybe it's because I am amost 47, and so I am especially nostalgic with the period 2000-2010, but anyway I think we need more color in our planet!!!
It’s fascinating how this resonates with Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, and other early 20th-century styles. They, too, embodied a fascination with emerging technology, a steadfast faith in progress, and the hope for a brighter future. It feels like history is making another turn of the spiral. ☺️
This made me think about how Frutiger Aero isn’t just being revived for its visuals, but for the emotional logic behind it: the idea that technology could feel warm, optimistic, and even alive. What stood out to me is how different that feels from today’s interfaces, which to me feel so minimal and frictionless they almost erase feeling altogether.
I’m curious whether you think the current resurgence is actually about reconstructing that early-2000s sense of optimism, rather than the aesthetic itself. Can that feeling even exist in a digital environment that’s now so saturated and algorithmically shaped?

This is why I love Substack. Very much reminds me of the Vaporwave moment from over ten year ago.
