Distressed Fonts

These fonts lend themselves to an organic, hand-lettered, realistic feel. These days, distressed fonts are very popular, but doing them correctly requires more precision and expertise than most people realize. Be careful when using cheap or amateur-created distressed fonts. They can really do a number on your applications and system! If you find that your application is acting buggy when loading or accessing the font menu, look in your system font folder for a bad distressed font. What causes these fonts to slow down or bug out can usually be attributed to three things: twisted paths, stray points or too many points. You won't find any of that in our fonts because we utilize a very precise and careful process for distressing to ensure that all paths are clean and glyphs don't contain more points than your applications can handle. So while they may look messy, they are actually anything but. These small samples don't do the fonts justice, so be sure to click on them to see larger examples that show off the distressing better.
