Maelstrom

by Chung-Deh Tien · Website

Maelstrom is a dense, aggressive graffiti typeface by Chung-Deh Tien that captures the tangled complexity of wildstyle lettering. The letterforms are heavy and interlocking, with sharp angles and exaggerated flourishes that give it real street credibility, though readability takes a back seat to raw visual impact. Strictly a headline and display face, built for urban-themed posters, album art, and anything that needs to feel like it was tagged on a wall at 2 a.m.
