Thereza

by Fernando Rocha

Thereza is a distressed display font developed as an experimental project at PUC-Rio in 2005, built on a bold, condensed, blocky skeleton that looks stamped and worn down to its last impression. The erosion is aggressive and consistent, giving every character a raw, cracked texture that feels pulled from aged concrete or a dried-out ink pad. Best used large, where the surface damage reads as deliberate intensity rather than noise.
