Author's note

Postal Bold by Josh Bingham is a free eroded display font with dense, upright capitals and a blunt industrial build. Its edges are nicked and uneven, as if the letters were stamped with worn ink or cut from battered signage. Narrow gaps inside the forms heighten the rough, compressed appearance.

Designers working on punk, garage, or DIY material will find a convincing match for concert posters and record packaging. The distressed silhouettes also suit workwear branding, where the lettering can resemble an old crate stamp or shop mark. Printed wear links these uses to a rough, physical process.
