Author's note

Badcab by Dismantle Destroy is a free eroded display font with broad squared capitals and a rough industrial finish. Its dense strokes are broken by scattered chips, scraped edges, and larger worn patches that vary noticeably from letter to letter. A fine outer contour line follows each form, adding a crisp graphic layer to the already battered surface.

Theatrical posters and garage branding draw on the same hard-used texture, though its blunt proportions also suit independent music packaging, streetwear graphics, and skate merchandise with an underground print-shop attitude. The damage recalls flaking paint, scuffed machinery, and repeatedly pasted street notices.
