Yearbook Mess

by Randy Ford · Website

Yearbook Mess is a roughed-up slab serif from Randy Ford with a 3D shadow effect and plenty of visible wear, like old collegiate lettering that's been photocopied one too many times. The distressed texture and western-tinged proportions give it a vintage, lived-in quality that works for headlines, posters, and retro branding. It splits the difference between old-school yearbook typography and saloon signage, landing in a sweet spot that feels nostalgic without being too polished about it.
