Curiously, I was just dabbling with this last night for a project.
You can do this Illy -
Effect \ Distort & Transform \ Roughen
Low Size (it's proportional to your font size, so start low), say .5 / 1 %
Absolute
High Detail (again, relative to your font-size, so start high)
Smooth PointsI'd rather do this with a font I know I like and perhaps have a variety of sets for, than rely on some hokey font that someone else might've come up with for this explicit purpose.

- just tried this -cool -
any thoughts on creating that kind of bleed look, especially in the F ?alicetheblue

try an inkjet transfer if you want an authentic reproduction of this effect.

Hmm.. Kinda, AliceTheBlue.
If you create a horizontal Art Brush (proportional) consisting of a number of small flattened ovals, then apply that to an outlined version of your text, you can create something that begins to approximate flooding. TBH though, as the result is essentially random (the floods can appear anywhere on the letterform, perhaps somewhere you don't want them), I'd prefer to add them in manually, as painted blobs.
Give it a go though, I only played around with your idea for a few minutes.

Hmm. One thing I didn't consider was the length of the perimeter of each letterform. For instance, the letter H as above, when stretched out, makes a line that measures the width of the letters 'ROUGHE' (actually, as it happens, about the distance of the brush example I provided). So, what I should probably have done is only add one blob in on the brush, so there's only one per letter. If that makes any sense?
Good luck, I hope you get something useful out of it!
- yes - makes sense, kinda - but now I have a headache ;)
