Letrashatt Regular الخط

Letrashatt font by Tension Type is a free eroded headline typeface with a bold, battered edge that feels like it’s been pulled off a weathered gig flyer. Its chunky, rounded forms are scuffed and chipped just enough to feel raw without turning into noise, giving text a tactile, ink-smeared presence. The letters sit close and heavy, creating blocks of copy that look stamped, scraped, and slightly chaotic in a very deliberate way.

Using Letrashatt, you can push attitude to the front of projects like rock or punk posters, album covers, streetwear branding, zines, bold packaging, movie titles, and gritty social media graphics. This free font shines when set large, where every roughened curve and broken edge can breathe. For hierarchy, pair Letrashatt with a clean geometric sans in smaller sizes to keep layouts readable while the distressed headlines do the shouting.

This is a Letraset type based on an old scan of Letraset Gothic Montype 216 that I found in files from a project a few years ago.

During the holidays I created a new font from that scan.
