Cheapskate Fill

Cheapskate Fill font by Harold Lohner is a free eroded display typeface that looks like it’s been slammed onto paper with a cheap rubber stamp. The letters wobble, ink bleeds into the edges, and the spacing feels charmingly off-kilter, giving every word a raw, handmade punch. It’s the visual equivalent of marker on cardboard-loud, scrappy, and impossible to ignore.

Using Cheapskate Fill in large sizes brings out all that grainy, uneven texture, so it shines on gig posters, zines, DIY packaging, protest signs, streetwear graphics, and edgy social posts. This free font works especially well when paired with a clean geometric sans for body text, letting the rough headline shout while the supporting copy stays legible and calm.
