Palsu

Palsu font by Ryoichi Tsunekawa is a free eroded display typeface that looks like it’s been dragged through ink, concrete, and rain. Bold, blocky shapes are scraped, chipped, and streaked, giving every word a raw, worn-in texture that feels instantly tactile. It carries the energy of gig posters stapled to city walls-loud, imperfect, and full of attitude.

Using Palsu, you can push grunge aesthetics in band merch, album covers, zines, horror titles, streetwear branding, and distressed packaging. The uneven edges and splattered gaps catch the eye at large sizes, so let this free font shout in headlines while a clean sans handles body text. Keep spacing generous to let those gritty details breathe and amplify the chaos.
