More about this family

About the family


Obliterate is a heavily distressed sans serif built from vintage rub-off typography sheets that were literally falling apart. The typeface captures the fractured texture of degraded transfer lettering and turns it into a system of interchangeable glyph sets designed to create chaotic, organic typography. The family includes four separate distressed capital alphabets plus alternate numerals that automatically rotate through ligature substitutions. As text is typed, characters shift between the different glyph sets to produce a randomized appearance that avoids repeating patterns and mimics the natural inconsistency of damaged lettering. Obliterate contains hundreds of glyphs including multiple uppercase sets, alternate numerals, punctuation, and a large multilingual Latin character range. Each glyph set includes international accented characters so the randomized system works consistently across languages. The result is a powerful distressed display face perfect for horror titles, gritty posters, survival-themed branding, extreme sports graphics, album artwork, streetwear graphics, and experimental design that benefits from unpredictable typographic texture.

About Grype

Grype began as a grunge type outfit for a short-lived time under the independent designer Charles Leroux. It was acquired by Astigmatic (AOETI) in 2016 and has since transitioned under the team of Brian J. Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles into a type foundry that produces font families inspired by corporate, band, and other logotypes and branding. And we still have retained some of the early pepperings of grunge typography from the library to boot.Grype expands on branding logotypes and makes them into full fledged type identity kits.
