Author's note

Aarcover by David Rakowski is a free distorted display font built from jagged, splintered strokes. Sharp points and abrupt cut-ins give the letters the look of torn paper or lightning-struck shapes. The uneven construction feels raw and deliberately unstable.

Its fractured edges can echo cracked textures, electric bolts, and angular artwork in music posters and album packaging. The same abrasive silhouette suits horror game graphics and underground event merchandise, linking these applications through a rough, high-impact style that feels drawn into the imagery rather than placed over it.
