Ex Hira Damaged font by Vic Fieger is a free Japanese grunge display typeface. Each stroke looks like it’s been hacked out of black ink and left to dry, with cracked edges and scuffed interiors that feel raw and hand-drawn. The characters wobble slightly and carry a scratched, almost shredded texture, giving your text the energy of a torn poster or a worn manga cover pulled from the back of a shelf.
Using Ex Hira Damaged, you can push atmosphere in horror titles, underground comics, zines, game menus, streetwear graphics, album art, and edgy event posters. This free font shines when set large so the broken texture really shows; pair it with a clean sans serif for body text to keep everything readable while the headline does the screaming.
