We bet you remember creaking sounds: you start to cringe and greet the teeth when the screeches give you a chill down your spine. It's a huge ick audibly, but visually, it's a badass look that adds grunge to every text you touch.
If the gruesome appeal is irresistible, why not use splashes, distortion, and scratches in your text? A huge plus in design is that you can't hear the unpleasant sounds but feast on distorted vibes. And ofc you won't hurt any surface or make someone's ears bleed IRL. You may destroy your artboard through Smart Object Layers in a PSD file, but it's only for good. The effect is suitable for retro grungy projects (yes, we even added halftones to make it better): tees, posters, covers, whatchamacallit.
