Category Sans-serif–serif hybrid
Classification Geometric sans-serif
Didone
Postmodern
Designer(s) P. Scott Makela
Foundry Emigre
Date released 1990

Dead History is a typeface which explores combining structural elements of both geometric sans-serif and Didone serif typefaces. Designed in 1990 by P. Scott Makela, the face is licensed by Emigre.

Dead History’s strokes transition from unbracketed serifs and contrasting stroke width on the left side of characters to a mono-weighted sans-serif with soft, rounded terminals on the right. Max Kisman’s 1991 typeface FF Fudoni, a combination of Futura and Bodoni elements is a similar exploration.
