Author's note

DKMothman by David Kerkhoff is a free trash-script display font with a frantic, ink-slashed surface. Its tall, uneven letters are tangled with dry scratches, splatters, and stray strokes that break far beyond the main shapes. The texture is deliberately raw and abrasive.

On music posters, its distressed marks echo photocopied flyers and noisy live sets. It also suits horror game graphics, underground magazine covers, and streetwear branding, with lettering that behaves like an agitated illustration. The scratched attack ties these uses to punk, industrial, and psychological horror imagery.
