Smeared Color Ink Text Effect

This effect replicates an over-inked letterpress block — ink bleeds outward from every stroke, smears across the paper grain, and pools into scattered dots around the lettering. A crease line through the centre adds the final layer of physical damage. The effect outputs on a transparent background for easy compositing, and the ink colour is fully changeable.

Usage: music and punk posters, horror and thriller campaign typography, zine and underground publication layouts, album artwork, streetwear brand graphics, and grunge-inspired editorial design
