Writing your own name in piss has become a lot less disgusting. Or has it?

Swedish punk band Pissjar have released their own typeface, designed by the band in their very own urine. The font was dreamt up for their debut album Apathy and Cheap Thrills.

"[We] decided to go for a record cover that suits the music, with a logo made of piss," state the band on their website, where you can download the font for free.

"After a couple of hard days of peeing we realized that this could be so much more than a record cover and a couple of T-shirts. It could be what the world deserves – piss."

The font is called Pissjar Sans, naturally. According to the band's website, the band peed about 300 times to make the font.

"We built a custom frame and tried out loads of different fabrics, using some good pieces of worn bed sheets with the perfect absorbency to cover the frame. Then we just started to pee a lot, one letter per pee session. When the bladder was empty we had like five seconds to photograph the frame before it bled out. After that we vectorized the photo and edited it with a font software.

"The peeing took approximately six months, plus about a month or so to finish up the font." 

Here's a rather delightfully disgusting video demonstrating the font's creation:

It wouldn't be the first font to be extracted from bodily fluids. Free-flowing font designer Aravindan Thirunavukarasu developed The Art of Peeingin 2014, which has a similar urinary foundation.

Seems writing temporary swear words or declarations of unspoken love on the pavement isn't enough for some.
