  • Create a new document with a white background.

  • Type your text in, using a dark color and a large font size.

  • Create a new layer. This new layer should appear above your text layer

  • Fill your new layer with white. The text will disappear, but don't worry, it's just behind the new layer you just filled in.

  • While the new layer is still selected, go to Filter / Texture / Grain

  • Set the Intensity to 100, the Contrast to 70, and the grain type to "Vertical". (Feel free to experiment with the values)

  • Press Ctrl+I at the same time to Invert the selection

  • Set the layer mode of the top layer to Screen.

  • Now duplicate that layer

  • Filter / Noise / Add Noise

  • Set the amount around 12.5%, set the distribution to Uniform and check the Monochromatic box

  • Finally, go to Filter, Sharpen, Unsharpen mask. Set the Amount to 500%, the Radius to 250.0 pixels and the Threshold to 255 levels.
You may want to reposition some of the top layers to get the best effect.
