Author's note

Erika Ormig by Peter Wiegel is a free eroded slab serif display font with broad, weighty letters and a distinctly hand-cut outline. Its blunt serifs, uneven edges, and softly distorted curves recall worn wood type, but the forms remain sturdy and easy to recognize.

Poster design is its most convincing setting, especially for music events or theatrical promotions built around rough, oversized lettering. The same print-worn character suits craft beverage packaging, vintage-inspired signage, and merchandise aimed at audiences drawn to handmade graphics and old presswork.
