Author's note

Buteco by Billy Argel is a free eroded display font with tall, forceful lettering and a roughly cut silhouette. Uneven edges keep every stroke restless. Dense scratch marks run through the broad forms, giving the surface a dry, scuffed texture rather than a soft weathered fade.

A concert poster is its most convincing setting, since the agitated marks suit punk, garage rock, and other raw music graphics. The same distressed weight can shape bar branding, T-shirt prints, and horror-themed event material. On posters especially, the letters function almost like hand-inked artwork rather than ordinary type.
