Backtrack Regular
Out of Step Font Company · 2018
A single-weight, hand-drawn display face with shading and rough cracks, drawn from the lettering on a hardcore band's t-shirt.
About
Inspired directly by the typography on a Backtrack band shirt, the typeface applies a hand-lettered approach to a heavy sans serif skeleton, adding built-in shading and stony cracks for a raw, underground character. It covers basic Latin alphanumerics and punctuation, making it a focused tool for show flyers, posters, album artwork and zine layouts rather than extended text. The aesthetic sits comfortably alongside tattoo lettering and punk print traditions.
Classification
A heavy, hand-drawn sans serif with deliberate shading and rough, cracked textures. Designed specifically for punk and hardcore aesthetic use, placing it firmly in the display category with a vernacular, hand-lettered subcategory.
