Atompunk Sputnik Era

ProMax

This is the Eastern-Bloc branch of the Atomic Age — the one that lived on printed matter rather than in American diner interiors. Ink-blue cosmic ground, orbital ellipses ruled in cyan, brushed-aluminium hardware catching exactly one hard specular edge, and headline blocks in poster red.

Everything here is drawn with instruments. Compass arcs stay visible, trajectory rules run to full bleed, and telemetry sits in a mono face beside the diagram it describes. A machine drafted honestly, then sold as a promise.
