Author's note

CM Old Halftone by Christopher Means is a free eroded display font with stout, rounded capitals and a screen-printed texture. Dense interiors keep the lettering forceful. Speckled edges and patchy wear give each form the uneven finish of an over-inked poster.

Independent record labels and streetwear brands can use its print character for logos, packaging, and merchandise. It also fits gig posters and music graphics rooted in DIY production. It is strongest when lettering should resemble distressed ink.
