Author's note

District, designed by Cpr.Sparhelt in 2008, is a free distressed display font with sturdy block capitals and a rough printed surface. Uneven outlines, chipped edges, and offset dark shapes give the letters the look of battered shop signage or an over-inked stamp.

As an instant worn-in label, it suits gig posters, skate merchandise, and packaging for products built around an industrial or handmade theme. Its scraped texture can echo photocopied photography, torn-paper collage, and scuffed illustrations, letting the lettering become part of the artwork rather than a clean caption.
