Author's note

Insomnesia by Xero Harrison is a free eroded display font with a battered, urban poster feel. The caps are cut with rough breaks, scrape-like notches, and uneven chunks that make the letters look torn from walls or worn by weather, while the heavy silhouettes keep the wordshape bold and blunt.

That makes it a natural fit for gig flyers, horror titles, streetwear graphics, zine covers, and distressed branding where a cleaner font would feel too polite. As a free font, it works best in short headlines, title cards, and big monograms, because the damage pattern is the whole voice of the design.
