D.I.Y. ’75 Font

D.I.Y. ’75 by Tension Type is a free typewriter font with a genuinely specific and fascinating origin — recreated from scans of an early 1970s band fanzine for a vinyl album booklet project, its letterforms carry the raw, paste-up energy of DIY underground publishing at its most authentic. This typewriter font captures the uneven baselines, mixed impressions, and grassroots spirit of hand-assembled zine typography like almost nothing else available. Free for personal use; commercial via TensionType.com.
