Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel font by Redruth is a free eroded typewriter display typeface that looks like it’s been hammered out on a battered, ink-clogged machine. The letters are rough, speckled, and slightly uneven, giving every word a smudgy, anxious energy—as if the message was typed in a rush and left out in the rain. It feels tactile and gritty, with just enough legibility to stay usable while still dripping with character.

Using Carpal Tunnel, you can inject tension and texture into horror titles, mystery book covers, escape-room branding, protest posters, DIY zines, or grunge album art. This free font thrives in big, short bursts of text where its worn edges and blotchy ink can really show. Pair it with a clean, modern sans serif for body copy to balance the chaos and keep your layouts readable.
