Unityped.ttf
Unityped Regular Font
Author's note
Unityped is a free eroded sans serif display font with tall, heavy capitals and a battered printed surface. The edges look chipped and scraped.
Distressed photographs and torn-paper graphics pick up the same scraped marks, making the lettering useful for music posters and album packaging. On streetwear merchandise or event signage, the compact upright shapes suggest stamped industrial labeling. The worn surface also suits punk, skate, and underground music themes.
--
The font was completed from vintage metal sign letters found at an antique shop. Several vowels were missing, so images of the missing characters were located online and used to complete the basic Latin character set. The original letters were used for outdoor road signs.

Description
I found a bunch of vintage metal sign letters at an antique shop. I really liked the look of them, but a few of the vowels were missing. I bought them and did some research online and found images of the missing characters. With a bit of time I was able to complete the basic latin for this font. Best used for display of course. The letters were originally used for outdoor road signs.
