Author's note

Bad Paintjob by David Kerkhoff is a free graffiti font with broad, irregular letters and the blunt force of hastily painted signage. Large chips and scattered pinholes break through the strokes, producing a convincingly battered surface rather than a tidy digital distress effect. The shapes feel improvised and unruly.

Packaging gives this rough texture a useful role on hot sauce labels and craft beer cans, where the lettering can suggest a scuffed, hands-on product. It also suits gig posters and skateboard merchandise, with the damaged paint pattern becoming a recognizable part of independent music festival graphics and brand identity.
