Strips of silver duct tape torn off the roll and slapped down until they spell something. Mouth Tape Font layers two or three pieces per stroke, with ragged thread ends, ribbed backing texture and corners already lifting. It suits protest posters, punk zines, gig flyers and censorship pieces. The set types from an OTF and includes transparent PNG letters.
Mouth Tape Font Tears Its Strips by Hand
Nobody used scissors here. Every letter in the Mouth Tape Font comes from strips of silver duct tape torn off the roll, so the ends fray into ragged threads. Because two or three strips overlap per stroke, you can see which one landed last. The layers lift slightly at the corners, since real tape never stays flat. Then the ribbed backing texture runs across each piece at its own angle. Naturally nothing lines up perfectly, and that is the whole appeal.
Silver, Ribbed and Never Straight
The silver is dull, not shiny. Duct tape reflects in a broad soft smear, so highlights spread instead of sparking. Underneath, then, the woven ribbing shows through as fine parallel lines. Since every strip came off the roll separately, the widths vary noticeably from letter to letter. Meanwhile the edges carry those stretched threads that always come away with the tear. Likewise a few strips curl at one end, where the adhesive gave up.
