SF Gridzip is a constructivist Font with variable weights based on sowiet machine readable Zip Code.
The Soviet Union rolled out its six-digit postal index in 1971, when automatic mail sorting began across the country. To let machines read the codes, envelopes carried a preprinted nine-segment outline for each digit — a stencil-like grid the sender filled in by hand. It is unclear whether the technology actually worked on a large scale at the time. This constrained, machine-first shape is where Gridzip draws its constructivist Style.
