Author's note

Primer by Andy Krahling of sunwalk is a free eroded display font with lean, open sans serif forms. Its strokes look partly rubbed away, leaving broken edges and scattered flecks around the main letter shapes. The damage looks dry and scratchy.

Worn machinery and distressed print are natural subjects for this lettering, making it useful on music posters and album covers. It also lends game menus and streetwear graphics a scraped surface instead of a clean typographic finish. The style suits audiences drawn to industrial music, underground fashion, and gritty game worlds.
