Bruised Five

Bruised Five font is a free trash typeface that looks like it’s been scraped onto the page with a dry, angry marker. Dense crosshatched strokes, crooked verticals, and jittery outlines create a sense of static and motion, as if the Bruised family was caught mid-glitch. The letters feel raw and noisy, giving headlines a cracked, underground energy that’s hard to fake with filters or textures alone.

Using Bruised Five, gritty projects instantly pick up a scratched-metal attitude: album covers, gig posters, horror titles, DIY zines, skate graphics, and glitch-art visuals all suit this free font. It works best big and bold, letting the tangled lines show, while a clean geometric sans in smaller text keeps everything readable and grounded.
