Adler

Adler font is a free eroded typewriter display typeface that looks like it’s been hammered onto the page by a battered, ink-clogged machine. Its letters are blotchy, irregular, and scarred with inky craters, giving every word a grimy, flickering tension—as if you’ve just unearthed a lost police file or a crumpled manifesto. The spacing feels jittery and handmade, adding a sense of urgency and unease to short phrases and bold titles.

Using Adler, you can push atmosphere hard on horror posters, thriller book covers, escape room branding, mystery zines, album art, and game titles. This free font thrives at large sizes where its splatters and rough edges stay raw and legible, while a clean sans-serif in the body copy keeps everything readable and modern. Set Adler sparingly, in punchy lines or stacked layouts, to let each distressed word hit like a stamp of evidence.
