Author's note
Broken Stick font by Nigel Babb - Burning Duck Dpt is a free grunge brush typeface that looks like it’s been hacked out with splintered wood and dripping ink. The letters are tall, scratchy, and uneven in the best way, with rough edges and scattered specks that feel raw and handmade. It brings a noisy, chaotic energy that jumps off the page, especially at larger sizes where every streak and splatter shows.
Using Broken Stick, you can throw instant attitude onto gig posters, horror titles, skate or punk zines, Halloween flyers, game covers, or gritty YouTube thumbnails. This free font works beautifully when you want something that feels unpolished and loud, rather than clean and corporate. For balance, try pairing Broken Stick with a simple sans serif for body copy and let this brush typeface shout in your headlines.
