37 of the Best Distressed Fonts To Capture Authentic Grunge Effects

We now live during a time when everything seems so…clean and seamless. It’s so easy to create a ‘picture-perfect’ look thanks to countless photo editing apps and filters.

Got a wrinkle? Smooth it out using this software. Want to make your images appear as if they were taken during the 60s? Then use this filter. It can be so refreshing to see something imperfect for a change.

Here’s where distressed elements come into play. Their inconsistent, grungy appearance makes them look more organic or true to life. They also come in all kinds of forms: there are those that imitate the look of wood, others are intentionally deconstructed to mimic the natural wear-and-tear of age.

Distressed fonts for instance, can immediately alter the mood and look of your projects in a few clicks. Sure, you can use a filter for that. But these are carefully made, one letter at time, providing you with a beautifully frayed result that looks like it took years of hard work.

Check out this collection and see for yourself.
