Author's note

Pistolgrip by Matt Petty is a free eroded display font with a blunt, poster-like voice. The letters are tall, heavy, and roughly worn away at the edges, giving the caps a gritty stencil-adjacent feel without becoming military or mechanical.

It works well for band flyers, zine covers, horror titles, streetwear graphics, and rough branding where a clean finish would feel wrong. As a free font, it makes the most sense in short headlines, title cards, and monograms, because the battered texture and big block shapes do the talking fast.
