Author's note

Fanzine font by Digital Graphic Labs is a free decorative display typeface that looks like it’s been snipped from a stack of photocopied magazines. Each letter sits on a skewed black block, as if taped down in a last‑minute rush, with clean serif shapes cutting through the inky background. The result feels gritty and handmade yet still legible, with a loud, ransom-note energy that jumps off the page or screen.

This free font shines on punk gig posters, DIY flyers, horror titles, protest graphics, collage-style social posts, and zine covers. Using Fanzine in big sizes with tight tracking keeps the cutout blocks reading as one bold graphic shape. Pair it with a simple sans serif for body text to let Fanzine handle the attitude while the supporting copy stays clean and readable.

Description
Not quite a woodcut, almost a "ransom" face, Fanzine brings the cut and paste underground fanzine look to digital type.
