The latest batch of fonts from Rian Hughes’ Device label is a mess — in a good way. Taking thoughtful inspiration from the gritty aesthetic of urban environments, Hughes dug up the grunge era and made “old” new again in 2007. Celebrate beautiful imperfection with rough and worn letters lifted from asphalt, paint stencils, old wood type, and manhole covers.
