About This Font
Basura – the gritty, hand‑scratched horror‑trash typeface that screams dark metal vibes
Basura channels raw, rebellious energy with a jagged, hand‑written look that feels both chaotic and purposeful. Its uneven strokes and distressed texture evoke the grit of a dystopian alley or a haunted stage, delivering a mood that is unapologetically sinister yet undeniably expressive. The typeface’s personality is unapologetically bold, making a statement wherever it lands.
Use Basura to craft unforgettable movie titles, album covers, and poster art that demand attention. It’s perfect for comic book covers, horror film credits, or any design that needs an edge of dread and authenticity. The font’s versatility also makes it ideal for branding, graffiti‑inspired logos, or striking social media graphics that want to stand out in a crowd.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark and no export limit. The tool runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
Will the SVG work in Cricut Design Space?
Yes — the export is a true vector path, not an image traced into one, so it uploads and cuts cleanly. The same file opens in Silhouette Studio, Illustrator, Inkscape and Figma.
Can I sell what I make?
That depends on the font, not on the tool — each font page states its licence. Many are free for personal use with a commercial licence available from the original designer, and the licence line links straight to the source.
Do I need to install the font first?
No. The font loads in the page, so you can set your text and export without installing anything. You can still download the font file separately if you want it on your system.
