About Road Rage

Road Rage is a display typeface in the grunge idiom. The underlying letters are heavy, condensed sans serif shapes, but every outline is chewed and speckled as if printed from a worn stamp, and single letters rotate a few degrees so that a word never sits quite straight. Counters are small and partly filled in by the rough texture. Both capitals and lowercase are present, and the texture continues through figures and punctuation. Robert Leuschke designed the face, which has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 629 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, described in the official notes as Western and Central European, together with Vietnamese. Road Rage is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Road Rage works

Gig and festival posters

Eroded edges and tilted letters carry a rough, loud tone for band names and line-ups.

Skate, moto and streetwear graphics

Heavy condensed shapes hold a slogan in a tight block on a shirt or a sticker.

Video thumbnails and title cards

A few words at a large size show the distressed texture that disappears when the type is small.

Horror and action titles

The stamped, worn outline adds grit to a short film or game title.

Things to know

One style

Road Rage has a single Regular style. There is no lighter or cleaner version in the family.

Texture needs size

The rough outline is detail drawn into each glyph; at small sizes it reads as blur, so the face is meant for large settings.

Larger file than a plain face

The detailed outlines make the single font file about 427 KB, which is worth knowing before loading it on a web page.
