Ink Bleed Text Generator

Give words a soaked-paper mood—each character gathers a dark “ink pool” beneath it using stacked under-marks, producing a damp, print-bleed vibe: ink → i̟̱͓n̟̱͓k̟̱͓, TEXT → T̟̱͓E̟̱͓X̟̱͓T̟̱͓, 2025 → 2̟̱͓0̟̱͓2̟̱͓5̟̱͓.

Ink Bleed — stack low combining marks for soaked edges (x̟̱͓)

The map appends a trio of low diacritics after every letter and digit—literal pattern x̟̱͓—so pigment appears to wick under the baseline. The result feels gritty and analog, like type pressed into wet stock.

Use for

• Moody headers for horror zines, ambient playlists, and noir captions.
• Badge-style labels where texture, not weight, carries the emphasis.
• Dates and short codes that need a distressed, printy character.

How to shape it

1. Keep phrases brief (1–5 words); dense paragraphs look muddy.
2. Title Case or ALL-CAPS yields cleaner silhouettes; lowercase feels grungier.
3. Give the line a touch more leading if the bleed crowds descenders.

Craft notes

• Pattern is literal x̟̱͓ for letters/digits; spaces remain spaces and most punctuation passes through unchanged.
• Rendering varies by font/OS; some stacks appear heavier—preview critical lockups.
• Very tight fonts (M/W) can amplify the bleed; test and trim as needed.
