Author's note

SM InkisM by Dan Meyer of smashmethod is a free eroded display font built from thick, roughly inked uppercase lettering. The broad forms look stamped and scraped, with ragged outer edges, gouged interiors, and scattered flecks that break up the solid strokes. Its uneven curves and shifting proportions give the letters the fast, physical directness of lettering cut or painted in a hurry by hand.

A gig poster is its strongest setting, and the same battered surface suits album artwork, skate merchandise, and horror-game graphics with a rough underground edge. On craft beer packaging, it becomes a rough ink-stamped brand mark.
