About the family


Desperate is the typographic jolt that turns quiet designs into loud statements. Its jagged, interlocking letterforms feel torn from the pages of a DIY fanzine—raw, urgent, and unapologetically alive. Every word bristles with energy, thanks to over 200 automatic ligatures that break repetition and give text the unpredictable rhythm of hand-cut punk and new wave lettering.

Yes, it thrives on gig posters, album art, and merch for bands who’d never dream of going mainstream—but its reach is wider than the mosh pit. Desperate hits hard in streetwear branding, extreme sports graphics, activist banners, indie film titles, festival campaigns, and anything else that needs to feel urgent, unpolished, and unforgettable.

This isn’t a typeface that waits to be noticed. It leaps off the page, snarls from the screen, and refuses to blend into the background. Desperate speaks in capital letters—sharp, fast, and with intent. If your project needs to look like it means every word, Desperate is ready to shout it for you.
