Author's note

Potassium Scandal by Tom Murphy 7 is a free cut-paper caps display font with a scrappy ransom-note energy. The letters look hewn from torn shapes and rough blobs, with chunky silhouettes, uneven edges, and soft, almost melted curves that keep the whole font playful rather than menacing.

It fits posters, zines, mixtape covers, indie event flyers, and title cards where you want something loud but homemade. As a free font, it also makes sense for short headlines, band names, or drop-cap moments, because the irregular caps create their own collage-like rhythm before you add anything else.
