Author's note

Vertigon by Andrew Bertram is a free graffiti display font with the raw look of cut street lettering. Its broad, uneven strokes shift from blunt corners to sudden tapers, giving the alphabet a restless silhouette. Boxy shapes and irregular widths keep the letters from settling into a predictable pattern.

Its street-art character suits music posters and skate merchandise, where lettering can become part of the artwork rather than a neutral caption. The geometry also fits game graphics and event flyers built around urban or underground themes. It will appeal to designers serving youth labels, independent venues, and alternative music projects.
