Blight

ABOUT

Blight is a blackletter font I designed and released in late 2022. It pays homage to electricity pylons - the steel lattice structures that power nations, but split public opinion. They are either known as towering eyesores that blight the countryside, or critical infrastructure worth treasuring (The Pylon Appreciation Society↗).

STYLE & ANATOMY

This typeface is sharp, brutalist and eccentric. It has been designed for display use and large format environmental graphics. Here's a breakdown of the anatomy.
