Send Cash

Send Cash typeface specimen.

I released Send Cash on January 23, 1998, under the Typodermic brand. The design process began with my Axaxax typeface, which I stretched, joined, and then further distorted in Photoshop. The result was a grungy techno typeface. At the time, grunge fonts were common, but they were usually based on traditional typefaces; Send Cash was unusual in that it combined the distressed aesthetic with a futuristic, techno construction.

In retrospect, the name was poorly chosen. “Send Cash” stands out as one of my weakest naming decisions, with no meaningful connection to the design. It was first distributed with a free commercial use desktop license, and in August 2020, I placed it in the public domain.
