Author's note

Project Z by David Kerkhoff is a free eroded display font with broad industrial capitals and a heavily scraped surface. Its rounded corners and wide stance keep the lettering solid beneath the damage.

It can turn a game title or music poster into a battered metal sign. The worn patches also suit action packaging and streetwear graphics, especially when the artwork draws on machinery, combat, or urban decay. In those settings, the letters become part of the pictured surface rather than neutral text.
