A ransom-style display font built from photographed letterforms cut from newspapers, magazines, packaging and signage, with eight automatic glyph alternates per character.
About
Each of the 26 uppercase and 26 lowercase letters comes in eight distinct versions drawn from real-world printed sources, giving the font over 400 base glyphs before numbers and punctuation. The font automatically cycles through these alternates as you type, producing the irregular, cut-up rhythm of a classic ransom note without manual intervention. Upper- and lowercase letterforms are mixed freely, heightening the collaged effect.
Classification
A collage-style display typeface assembled from photographed letterforms sourced from varied printed materials, placing it firmly in the ransom/cut-up display tradition. The automatic cycling through eight alternates per glyph reinforces its chaotic, mixed-media character.
