Zerk Font is a retro futuristic display typeface built on calligraphic roots, exaggerated widths, and a pre-millennial flair. Its structure pairs sculptural curves with a constructed geometry, creating a balance between flow and exaggeration. The typeface frames a future imagined with optimism, joy and mischief rather than ambitious progress.
Anything with enough character and guts to be unique from the 70s to the early 2000s was the source of inspiration. These were typographic elements from science fiction, electronic music, skateboard culture and early PlayStation graphics. Those visual cultures were almost defined by influential typefaces like Microgramma, Stop, Motter Tektura, Serif Gothic, Revue, Advertisers Gothic and Avant Garde, whose distinct aesthetics left a long imprint on the popular culture. Zerk channels this legacy through simple, swift strokes and an unapologetic, fun approach.
