Author's note

Postal by Josh Bingham is a free eroded display font with tall, narrow capitals and the rough silhouette of ink stamped onto coarse recycled paper. Its uneven edges keep the letters distinctly raw and physical.

Used as a visual stamp, it can turn music posters into something printed, handled, and slightly battered. That worn surface also suits workwear packaging and merchandise with an industrial or handmade angle. Editorial covers and protest-themed graphics offer another convincing setting, since the jagged contours resemble forceful, imperfect reproduction rather than polished digital type.
