Ground Zero

Ground Zero font by R. Gast is a free distorted display typeface that looks like it’s been dragged sideways across the screen at high speed. Thick, blocky letters are shredded into frantic horizontal streaks, giving every word a sense of impact, motion, and barely controlled chaos. The texture feels rough and static‑charged, as if the ink itself is vibrating.

Using Ground Zero, you can crank up the tension on horror posters, glitchy album covers, rave flyers, protest graphics, zines, or underground event branding. This free font works best at large sizes where the streaks can really tear across the page; pair it with a clean, condensed sans for small supporting text to keep everything sharp and readable.
