Author's note

Parkinson is a free eroded display font with narrow, tall, sharp serif letters, a scraped surface, and a distinctly cut-paper silhouette. Deep chips interrupt the strokes throughout, but the damage shifts from fine scratches to broad missing wedges across the alphabet, creating an uneven, restless edge that feels physically torn rather than covered by a uniform filter.

Ripped poster art and rough collage share the font's broken contours, making it a convincing match for punk album covers, horror film graphics, distressed apparel, and underground event flyers. It is especially effective for theatrical posters built around stark, raw menace and decay.
