Author's note

Dead Hardy by Dirt2.com is a free rough handwritten caps font with a scrappy horror-poster streak. The letters feel dragged out and uneven, with wiry strokes, sudden hooks, and stretched crossbars that give the whole line a restless, hand-scratched rhythm.

It fits posters, zine covers, garage-band artwork, title cards, and Halloween flyers, especially where short lines need a raw human mark instead of clean lettering. As a free font, it also works for bold pull quotes or monograms, because the caps have enough odd tension and wobble to carry a few characters on their own.
