Distractor is a woodtype and letterpress hybrid font loosely based on Bevan. Its bold distressed display makes for a great headline font, it gives your work that tactile feeling.

The inspiration behind it, the old letterpress styles and hand printed lettering – I just love that hand printed, worn ink style.

Uppercase, Lowercase and numbers are included. I've updated it to include western and central european characters, and added a few more punctuation marks—around 280 glyphs now.

About Simon Stratford

Hello, that's me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

I've spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I've done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn't what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.
