Roughage Serif Font

Roughage Serif by A.J. Palmer is a free rough sketch serif with a scrappy 90s grunge feel. The letters look repeatedly crosshatched and overdrawn, as if they were scratched in with a marker, while the serif shapes peek through the mess enough to keep the alphabet feeling rooted in old book lettering rather than pure doodle.

It works for zine covers, band flyers, poster headlines, indie comic titles, and rough-edged packaging where a free font should feel restless and handmade instead of neat. Because the serif structure is still visible under all that scribble, it also suits short title cards or drop-in words that need some literary weight without losing the raw noise.
