An irritating speck

An Irritating Speck font by Mr. Fisk is a free decorative display typeface that looks like it’s been chewed up by dust, noise, and time. Tall, tightly packed letters wobble with inky edges and scattered white specks, creating a restless, almost vibrating texture. It feels grimy and handmade, as if pulled from a photocopied flyer that’s been run through the machine one too many times.

Using An Irritating Speck, headlines instantly pick up a scratchy, underground attitude that’s hard to fake. This free font works beautifully for gig posters, horror titles, zines, album covers, Halloween invites, and skate or streetwear graphics. Keep it big and bold so the speckled erosion stays legible, and pair it with a plain geometric sans serif to let its chaotic energy take center stage.
