Author's note

Dirty Bakers Dozen, designed by Ray Larabie of Larabie Fonts, is a free distorted display font with chunky, warped letterforms and a strong 1970s psychedelic flavor. Pinched middles give the letters their peculiar swagger.

Music, counterculture, and offbeat comedy are its most convincing territory, especially on concert posters, album artwork, and title cards that benefit from lettering with a deliberately unruly silhouette. The pinched forms resemble hand-cut paper shapes, so the type can become part of an illustrated scene rather than serving as a neutral caption. Snack packaging and magazine publishing offer another useful setting for its swollen curves and odd retro identity.
