Never Me Typeface
typeface forged from tension, anger, and restraint. Inspired by the emotional weight and raw intensity of Metallica’s The Unforgiven, the design channels feelings of fear, isolation, and defiance into harsh, fractured letterforms.
The characters feature sharp edges, uneven cuts, and aggressive angles, creating a sense of pressure and instability, as if the type itself has been worn down or broken by force. Working in adobe Illustrator i made each letter as sharp as i could without losing a thick enough shape.
Uppercase letters dominate with an imposing, almost confrontational presence, making them ideal for bold statements and expressive headlines, while the overall construction remains legible enough to maintain cohesion.
With influences drawn from the anger, regret, and pain felt in the song, Never Me thrives in album artwork, posters, and experimental editorial work—anywhere a voice of anger, resistance, or inner conflict needs to be seen and felt.
