How to create a distressed brush effect on a font?

[linkjgg]

I really like this brush effect on a font, but I'm not sure what it is called to recreate. Is there a way to recreate this in Photoshop using a brush technique? If so, do you have a tutorial? Thanks!

This is probably built within the font itself - like Northwell for example. But if you want to try to create it in a font that you are using, I would rasterize the type layer, then make a mask and use a brush in the mask layer that is of a texture that you like. Maybe a chalk like texture that you can try to emulate that erosion with. It is best it you have a tablet so that you can use the sensitivity and pressure so it looks more natural.

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I'll try that!
