Author's note

Commercial Break by Gray Graphics is a free Japanese-inspired caps display font with a hard-edged, billboard feel. The letters are built from thick bars, clipped corners, and sharp diagonals, giving the font a brisk commercial-sign rhythm that feels part katakana echo, part late-90s techno branding.

It fits posters, record sleeves, arcade-flavored packaging, storefront graphics, and event flyers where short wording can carry the look. As a free font, it also works well for title cards, cover lines, and logo sketches, because the blocky forms lock together fast and make even a few letters feel like signage.
