Author's note

Fresnel by Tom Murphy 7 of Divide By Zero Fonts is a free distressed brush display font with broad, forceful capital letters and a rough, fiercely scraped surface. Its irregular ragged edges make every stroke look freshly dragged from a dry brush.

That raw construction suits underground music posters, but it can also lend grit to skate merchandise and horror game graphics. The repeated streaks and torn-looking contours turn names into rough marks, a useful identity device for streetwear brands and independent record labels built around noise, speed, or menace.

Description
Created by Tom Murphy 7.

This is basically just Arial Black with a photoshop filter applied to each letter. Sorry about that, I was kind of lame in those days.

This font still looks kind of cool, if unoriginal... the name "Fresnel" (referring to the type of magnifying lens) is quite appropriate.
