Smudged Print Text Effect

This isn’t your clean, minimalist Helvetica moment, this is the real deal — messy, raw, and grungy. The recipe for this gem is careless slapping down a wet ink print to get the texture that’s half rebellion and the other half beautiful accident.

And guess what? You get to pick the mood of the mischief because this effect comes in

5 glorious color options.

There’s classic

black and gray

for when you’re feeling broody,

soft pink

to add a punk twist with a side of ironic sweetness,

vintage yellow

to make it look like this text was printed in the 80s and left in a drawer somewhere, and

green

— because nothing says grunge quite like a questionable, slightly nauseating green. Smart Object? Oh, yeah. It’s a double-click, drag-and-drop kinda deal. Perfect for those gritty posters, and album covers that are giving underground.
