Author's note

Triple Bypass by Swat Kat is a free distorted display font with a scrappy, hand-drawn feel. The letters look stretched and slightly unstable, with wavering outlines and narrow forms that suggest marker sketches, zine lettering, and late-90s underground graphics more than polished poster type.

That rough, wiry rhythm suits band flyers, mixtape covers, indie film title cards, club posters, and short editorial headings where a free font can carry a nervous, handmade edge. It also works for monograms or quick logo experiments, since the tall, uneven caps create an instantly jagged silhouette without needing much text.
