Author's note

DISTInking, created by Lee of Digidea Studio, is a free distressed brush display font with the raw look of lettering swept onto paper in wet ink. Its tall, uneven capitals combine broad strokes with scraped edges and sudden pointed cuts. Small spatters and trailing drips sharpen the unruly, handmade impression.

It can turn a poster title into part of the artwork, especially for punk concerts, horror entertainment, or streetwear branding built around rough ink textures. The same abrasive marks suit album packaging and merchandise aimed at alternative music audiences, where clean digital lettering would feel too restrained.
