Dimestore Hooker

Dimestore Hooker font by Dave Kellam is a free eroded display typeface that looks like it’s been dragged across rough concrete and photocopied one too many times. Its tall, narrow letterforms are packed with splatters, chips, and jagged edges, giving every word a raw, street-worn texture. The result feels loud and a little unhinged—great when you want typography that looks like it’s survived dive bars, basement shows, and dirty sidewalks.

Using Dimestore Hooker, you can push zine covers, horror titles, gig posters, album art, and underground event flyers into full-on chaos. This free font also works for gritty branding experiments and distressed headers where you want instant attitude without extra Photoshop work. Pair it with a plain, clean sans serif in smaller text so the crunchy details stay readable while the wild texture steals the spotlight at larger sizes.
