Appendix3 font by Ryoichi Tsunekawa Bagel and Co. is a free distorted display typeface that looks like it’s been dragged across concrete and left to weather in the rain. Tall, elegant letterforms are eroded with gritty specks, cracks, and faded edges, giving each word a haunted, analog feel-like ink eaten away on old paper. The spacing stays calm and readable, so the chaos is all in the texture, not the structure.
Using Appendix3, you can dial up tension on horror posters, thriller book covers, mystery movie titles, escape-room branding, grunge gig flyers, and experimental album art. This free font shines at large sizes where its scratches and worn patches really show. For smaller text or supporting copy, pair it with a clean, modern sans serif to keep the message sharp while Appendix3 handles the mood.
