Its not a free font Just because some dude ‘distressed’ it! You should pay Herb Lubalin! The man who spent years designing it!

Nice font – it’s like a dirty Avante Garde with different slants. Good job, though. Very 70’s… I suppose, since the Avante Garde font (difinitive 70’s style.) That font has become very famous, even amongst circles that don’t know much about design. Birth of a Hero looks like a great font, I think a nice twist has been added by making it a ‘dirty’ font. Some of the letters look a little different, or function differently, but it certainly has some excellent uses and goes in the bag of excellent free fonts. Thank you!

@verman: Thats exactly the first thing that sprung to my mind: Avant Garde… but hey, it looks awesome and it has that grunge look already built in.

@ Verman – I hear you, but it’s free and will def serve a purpose at some point.

Thanks for this Bittbox & Gyom!

It is basically just ITC Avant Garde by Herb Lubalin designed for the magazine Avant Garde. The only thing is that it is often difficult if not impossible to find it with the alternate ligatures/figures which have the interesting angles.

I wish this weren’t distressed, because it would be more useful that way but either or it is always interesting.
