Bad Fonts

Posted by Orangeheat in Art, design, writing

Here is an example of something I was trying to hit on with the ugly murals post. This font which shall remain nameless is as hideous as a typeface comes and yet it is as widespread as the common grackle bird which overpopulates Austin. I almost understand using this font for a cheesy hair salon with an egyptian motif but to cut thru one inch thick metal trying to imitate the way ink bleeds on parchment paper is so ridiculous it almost elevates it to high art. Like the ugly murals that have a hint of high art in the terrible execution and weak conception. A fluke in a way creating something great by being clueless. Kinda makes you wanna keep your punk rock on!
