Author's note

Radio, designed by Aleksandar Stevanov, is a free eroded serif display font with the battered imprint of old mechanical type. Its uneven edges, missing flecks, and pooled ink shapes make each letter look physically worn. Broad serifs and irregular stroke widths keep the forms sturdy beneath the damage.

It is most convincing on music posters, where the distressed print texture recalls photocopied flyers and hand-run press work. The same rough surface fits record packaging and independent magazine covers rooted in punk, garage, or experimental culture. Here, every chip becomes part of the image.
