Does this term exist?
Is there an official term that summarizes erratic, wrong, dirty, broken, eroded,
grungy type?
I ve been researching quite a bit on that for my diploma but I havent
found one clear description for it.
Something that summarizes the phenomenon of **** type up,
whether itd be in fine art, gebrauchsgrafik or typedesign.
so what do you think?
i vote for "distressed."
I think of Neville Brody's experimentals

AS
I vote 'bad' + 'wrong' or quoting Kung Pow ' badong'
Some fonts merely have a deliberately jumpy baseline. Others go much further. I think there's a range in there. You've got hand-lettered, found type, etc. Grunge/distressed is what immediately comes to mind when you say 'dirty' or 'broken' though.
