I always love the idea in Sci-fi that in technology, they've somehow figured out personal digital assistants, but not simple UIs or slim hardware.
Like in Alien where they have all this space technology, but didn't get past using DOS.
I really like this title font, anyone know what it is (the serif one)?
Font squirrel shows this list[^1]:

Oh yeah, it looks like Garamond with really tight kerning
Didn’t know this community existed or what it was. Started looking for one.
FYI: according to Aesthetics Wiki:
Cassette Futurism is a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70's and 80's. The media itself does not have to be set in this time period, but rather explore the speculated alternate future of it. As the name suggests, Cassettes are the main way of storing and transferring data.
Very cool art
It just needs "DON'T PANIC" plastered in friendly letters somewhere on the Device and it'd make a fantastic Hitchhikers Guide as well!
Reminds me of a lot of the devices in the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG rulebook.
Indeed, there are a few very cassette-futuristic gadgets there! I need to take some time to search the illustrators names (page 3) and see if they have more like this. Thanks!

Is oddly reminiscent of the Pip-Boy from the Fallout games
My first thought as well. Wonder if there was any inspiration pulled from this device.
this is a space for Cassette Futurism -- retro images, media, design and technology from the 70s and 80s
