The Y2K look, explained
The turn of the millennium mixed optimism about technology with pure pop sparkle. Fonts were wide and techno (like Neuropol and Sofachrome), digital (DS-Digital) or soft and bubbly (Cream Puff, Dance Club). Colours were chrome silver, iridescent blue, hot pink and lime.
Tips for great Y2K text
- Pair a techno font with silver or aqua glitter for chrome.
- Use a white outline on dark backgrounds to get the sticker effect.
- Tilt the text a few degrees. Slanted headers were everywhere in 2001.
- Add ✧ and ☆ decorations from the copy-paste styles to your caption.
