"Why is this blocky, streamlined design style seeing a comeback? Is it a sign that we’re returning to futurism? That form is following function again, in visual design? Is it a suggestion we’re returning to Cold War paranoia? Is it just more historic appropriation, mining the dustbin of history for irony and inspiration?"
