Author's note

DISTInking Bold by Lee of Digidea Studio is a free brush display font with forceful, hand-painted capitals. Its broad strokes break into ragged edges, sharp flicks, and occasional ink splatters that make the lettering look freshly dragged across paper. The uneven forms keep it raw and restless.

Music, street culture, and horror themes are a natural match for this abrasive brushwork. It can give concert posters and album packaging the look of a hurried band mark, with enough variation in the strokes to avoid a polished logo finish. Skate merchandise and gritty game graphics are equally credible settings, especially when the lettering becomes part of a scratched or ink-stained image.
