Author's note

Old Typography by Galdino Otten is a free eroded display font with towering heavy letters and a rough letterpress finish. Its uneven wear and blunt shapes recall battered posters and hand-pulled show bills.

Independent music labels and vintage-minded clothing brands could use it for logos, packaging, and merchandise. The compact silhouette gives event posters and album covers force of street advertising. Flecks, gaps, and scraped edges can merge with photocopied portraits or collage textures as part of the artwork.
