Paula Scher's graphic design style is considered integral to her home, New York's image. Her work is designed to raise questions rather than give answers which adds viewer engagement.

It's hard to tell if the fire is being viewed through the text like a window or if the text itself is on fire, both interpretations showing the typography as chaotic. Cubic presents its typography using only hexagonal lines. The ability to show every letter like this is impressive and results in a consistently sci-fi looking font.
