AmateurLobotomy

Amateur Lobotomy font by Mike Larson is a free distorted display typeface that looks like it’s been dragged through a funhouse mirror and photocopied one too many times. Thick, inky strokes bulge and wobble, with hollowed centers that feel more like carved-out graffiti than tidy lettering. The rhythm is jittery and off-kilter, giving every word a slightly unhinged, DIY energy that jumps off the page.

Using Amateur Lobotomy, you can push horror posters, Halloween event branding, underground gig flyers, zines, game titles, and experimental album covers into truly deranged territory. This free font shines when it’s set big and loud, where its warped silhouettes have room to breathe. Pair it with a clean, neutral sans serif for supporting text to keep your layouts readable while the headline does all the screaming.
