Author's note

CMBloat by Christopher Means is a free graffiti font with towering, swollen letters and a dense, inked-in silhouette. Rounded outer shapes meet rough, radiating notches at joins and lower edges, as if wet paint has been forced outward under pressure.

On merchandise, its compressed mass and splattered edges suit skate graphics, band shirts, and streetwear labels with an unruly comic streak. It also has the punch needed for music posters. In publishing, the exaggerated forms can turn a magazine cover line or comic chapter opener into part of the artwork, echoing drips, bursts, and other drawn effects.
