Author's note

Wedgie, David Rakowski's free 3D block display font, leans hard into a late-80s and early-90s poster attitude. The letters are big, beveled slabs with deep diagonal extrusion and sharp wedge-like cuts, giving the font a loud, pushed-forward feel without getting fussy.

It works well for arcade flyers, skateboard graphics, mixtape covers, comedy title cards, and short poster headlines where that chunky perspective can do the talking. As a free font, Wedgie makes most sense in brief display settings, especially logos or one-word mastheads, because the heavy depth and angled shadows give even simple words a built-in sense of motion.
