Paint drips and ink splatters are usually the side effects of producing lettering by hand with pens and paintbrushes, but these kinds of aesthetics are also incorporated into digital type designs to retain that popular hand made look. The type styles that result in messy splatters and runs are those that are created with fast and rough strokes, often using script styles where the characters are drawn in one continuous motion. In today’s showcase I present 30 custom lettering designs from a range of artists, each one features some kind of gloopy, graffiti or grungy appearance.
