Author's note

Boston Traffic font by Vic Fieger, Xaviera Comics is a free stencil display typeface that feels like it’s been dragged across concrete and splashed onto a brick wall. The tall, condensed letters are chipped, streaked, and uneven in all the right ways, giving your titles a raw, urban energy. It reads like a stack of hand-cut stencils hit with too much paint-loud, gritty, and impossible to ignore.

Using Boston Traffic, you can push attitude to the front of gig posters, streetwear branding, skate zines, game titles, album covers, and protest flyers. This free font works best big and bold, where its rough edges and broken shapes can really show. Pair it with a clean, neutral sans-serif for body copy to keep the chaos focused while the headlines do the shouting.
