Author's note

Fixogum, created by Ingo Zimmermann of ingoFonts Augsburg, is a free gestural calligraphy font built from swift, sweeping strokes. Its letters stretch into long diagonals, loose loops, and sudden changes of direction, with sharp joins beside broad ink-like marks. The forms feel deliberately raw and highly animated.

Posters give this restless lettering a fitting stage in experimental music, dance events, and art exhibitions. Its sketchy movement also suits fashion graphics and album packaging, echoing hand-drawn marks. Here, Fixogum can become part of the illustration, turning a title into a tangle of signs and strokes.

The font was created using a tube of Fixogum.
