Author's note

Troglodyte by Graham Meade is a free futuristic display font with a clipped, modular rhythm and a sleek retro-tech mood. The letters mix squared curves with abrupt cut-ins and hard corners, so the font feels engineered rather than geometric, with rounded forms sitting tightly against sharp notches and cropped strokes.

It suits sci-fi branding, game titles, electronic music flyers, poster headlines, and magazine cover lines where a free font needs a synthetic voice without going full stencil or bitmap. Because the shapes are compact but visibly sculpted, it also works well for short title cards and logos that want a slightly 1970s space-age edge.
