Artificially Weathered #4



So far in my collection of artificially weathered type i have charming trendy and rugged for their various descriptions of why such a typeface was used. Today I opened a periodical at the school, ya know SUU, its in cedar, so therefore has some significance towards a tour of cedar city typography (?), and it interestingly was a design magazine from several decades back. It all looked worn out as far as ideas go but in its time it was the cutting edge of contemporary typography. So it once demanded the respect of an idea for the future of design. Hard to say in one word but that's the explanation for the designers choice in type.
