Author's note

Big Brother by M Janet Mars is a free eroded display font with towering, compressed capitals. Its blunt shapes carry scattered scratches and chipped edges, giving the lettering the look of battered posters or worn industrial signs.

It can push a music flyer with the same force it brings to workwear packaging. The narrow build suits sports merchandise and action-film graphics. Its rough, confrontational finish will appeal most to designers working in punk, streetwear, and underground entertainment.
