About this typeface:
Derived from a photograph Rian Hughes took in Hong Kong, this font is a literal interpretation of rough and worn road lettering. The original provided almost all of the key character shapes, with the others being designed to keep the unique hand painted feel intact. Most of the letters have alternate versions provided. This font works equally well at wider letterspacing settings. Use in conjuction with Roadkill Alternates or its weightier brother, Roadkill Heavy. Also available as part of the Roadkill Complete package.
About the designer:
Rian Hughes studied at the LCP in London before working for an advertising agency, i-D magazine, and a series of record sleeve design companies. Under the name Device he now provides design and illustration for the advertising, entertainment, publishing, and media industries. In between assignments, he adds to his phenomenal stable of typeface designs. He has an extensive collection of Thunderbirds memorabilia, a fridge full of vodka, and a stack of easy listening albums which he plays very quietly.
