Harsh language

Harsh language font by Jakob Fischer is a free eroded display typeface that looks like it’s been scratched onto a wall and left to weather. The letters feel jagged and scuffed, with inky edges that wobble just enough to look human, not digital. There’s a raw, noisy energy running through every word, as if the text has been shouted, not written.

Using Harsh language, your titles instantly gain that rough, underground attitude that’s hard to fake. It shines on gig posters, zines, horror covers, extreme sports graphics, protest visuals, and bold YouTube thumbnails. This free font works best when set large, then paired with a clean, neutral sans for supporting text to keep everything readable while the headline does the screaming.
