If you were to write a cyberpunk setting with a Frutiger Aero aesthetic, how would you do it?

Mirror’s Edge [2008.]
Augmented reality displays everywhere with Frutiger Aero themes to mask out the dull dying world behind them. Maybe water is scarce in the world so all the imagery of water is something people gravitate toward.
Minority Report x Mirrors edge
Put the corpos and wealthy classes up in the sky living in artificial clouds. Have them live in a blue and white world, far enough away from the ground to be able to see that the ocean is toxic. Up there all the water is still blue. Thematically this plays into the illusion that thanks to technology the world and loves are better, when really it’s just the distance you’ve placed between yourself and the problem.
Water is precious, water is scarce in the future. Living high above the clouds, looking down on a world full of water – you might be able to even forget that you can’t drink most of it and everything that used to live there is dead.
Imagine – you’re so wealthy, so above the rest of humanity. The biggest thing you have to worry about this week is a red tide bloom happening down in central America, ruining your otherwise perfect view of the imperfect and ruined world. Spend a few million to send a crew down and clean up the algal bloom for the boss so they won’t have to see the results of their decisions.
It’s the same as the billionaires of today flocking to New Zealand. They want to go somewhere unscathed and farrrrrrrr away from the people they exploit and the lands the ruin. They’ve got their cake and they want to eat it, fuck the rest.
Hope that helps give you some inspo!!
Solarpunk/Frutiger Aero could easily work for some rich corporate Dubai esque city.
