Author's note

Abusive Pencil is a free hand-drawn decorative display font built around the look of carved, worn pencil lettering. The letters feel scratchy and mischievous, with rough edges, little splinter-like cuts, and scattered starry marks that make the caps read like doodles pulled from a schoolbook margin rather than a tidy sign.

That gives this free font a natural place in poster titles, zine covers, notebook-style branding, party flyers, and spooky or playful packaging where a neat finish would feel wrong. It also makes sense for short headlines, chapter openers, and monograms, because the pencil-cut texture does most of the talking even in just a few letters.
