Author's note

Old Printing Press from Fonts Lab is a free eroded display font modeled on battered letterpress type. Its broad slab serifs, uneven edges, and dense fields of scratches and ink flecks give the letters the messy force of an overprinted broadsheet.

Rebellion, underground music, and rough industrial subjects are its natural territory. The damaged print texture suits concert posters and album packaging, and it can merge with gritty photography on independent magazine covers. It can also shape brewery labels and skate merchandise, turning a name into something resembling a salvaged shop sign.
