During the 1960s and 70s, psychedelic design was a popular visual aesthetic – and not just because the drugs were rampant among the youth culture of that era (although “tripping out” was definitely part of the lifestyle).

Many of the visual motifs found in artwork and posters from the 60s and 70s featured bold color combinations and handcrafted lettering that was expressive and mesmerizing. The writing on the wall was often styled in such a way that no two characters were alike – varying in shape, size, and even perspective.

It can take a great deal of effort to craft distorted text from scratch, but when you’re hustling for a living as a designer – every minute counts.

Designed by YouWorkForThem Design Studio, Stone Box Distortion Effect makes it easy to add instant distortions to the font of your choice, using the shapes provided in this collection. 

Stone Box Distortion Effect will work with any font – so the possibilities are truly limitless! Designers can warp their text every which way using these distortion effects, creating an endless variety of glitchy text designs in seconds.
