Author's note

SEXtalk69, designed by Andrew J. Hart, is a free eroded display font with massive, uneven letters and a scraped, photocopied surface. Dense black strokes, ragged edges, and scattered gaps give the lettering the battered look of cut-and-pasted punk graphics, with cramped overlaps and sudden changes in stroke width.

Its distressed texture can merge with torn-paper collage, grainy photography, or screen-printed illustration, making it especially apt for music posters and album packaging. Merchandise also suits its abrasive, handmade attitude for bands and streetwear labels. The rough construction points most convincingly toward punk, underground club, and skate themes in event flyers and youth-oriented branding.

Description
Designed in 1902 by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders company, Franklin Gothic still reigns as one of the most-widely used sans serif typefaces. Originally issued in only one weight, the ATF version of Franklin Gothic was eventually expanded to include five additional weights, but no light or intermediate weights were ever developed. In 1979, under license from ATF, ITC developed four new weights in roman and italic: book, medium, demi and heavy. Designed by Victor Caruso, ITCs new weights matched the original faces characteristics, but featured a slightly enlarged lowercase x-height. ITC Franklin Gothic also features a slightly condensed lowercase a-z alphabet. In 1991, ITC commissioned the Font Bureau in Boston to create condensed, compressed and extra compressed versions of ITC Franklin Gothic, which increased the flexibility and usefulness of the design.
