About Dogtown
Dogtown font is my attempt at adding a massive amount of texture to a Typeface. I used my own rolled ink textures to give that old-school printed look and feel. It has a mix of three styles to give that wood-type vintage letterpress effect.
Dogtown font is like that vintage leather jacket you found at a thrift store – full of character and stories to tell. It's got this rugged, worn-in charm that's perfect for adding a touch of raw authenticity to your designs.
Dogtown has four versions in total:
- Dogtown 1 – With a light texture
- Dogtown 2 – With medium texture
- Dogtown 3 – With heavy texture
- Dogtown (regular) – Contains all of the above using contextual alternatives. That means it will alternate between 3 glyphs for each letter, number, and punctuation mark. You will need to turn on the contextual alternatives option in your design package for this to work.
You can also switch out letters by selecting through the glyphs palette or by selecting Dogtown one, two, or three fonts. The intention was to make everything look more irregular and less repetitive, more like natural letterpress printing.
If the dirty font Dogtown were a celebrity
If the dirty font Dogtown were a celebrity, it would be the gritty and unapologetic rock legend Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Just as Keith Richards is known for his rebellious attitude and iconic guitar riffs, Dogtown font exudes a raw and edgy spirit in the type realm.
