Author's note

Swordfish is a free eroded display font with a blunt, battered look that feels cut from worn rubber or painted through a damaged stencil. The letters are heavy and uneven, with ragged edges, punched-out holes, and drippy breaks that keep the texture lively without losing their bold blocky silhouette.

It suits poster headlines, indie album sleeves, horror title cards, zine covers, and raw streetwear graphics where a free font needs grit more than polish. Because the shapes stay simple under all that damage, it also works well for short logos or big single-word treatments that want a messy, handmade hit.
