Author's note

Skratch by David Kerkhoff is a free eroded display font with towering, tightly packed caps and a forceful silhouette. Deep fractures cut across the broad strokes in restless clusters. Long slashes and broken wedges make the damage look splintered rather than weathered.

The fractured lettering echoes cracked glass and torn poster textures, making it a fit for horror-film posters, distressed album packaging, and urban event graphics. On skateboard merchandise, the letters can become part of an illustrated impact mark or battered emblem instead of serving only as neutral type.
