Create a text in Photoshop.
Fill the background layer with white.
This is where the Smudge Tool is located.
Right click any layers to merge visible, and use a large brush to smudge the text object like this.
Go to Channels, select the blue channel, press [Control + A] to select all, [Control + C] to copy, create a new channel, and [Control + V] to duplicate the Blue Channel into new channel like this. Click the newly selected channel to hide the rest channels above.
Go to [Image -> Adjustments -> Levels]. Change the default values of 0, 1.00, 255 to 100, 1.00, 102 or so. The idea is to make the text to look as sharp as possible.
[Control + Click] the new Alpha channel (should be named Alpha1) to select the clean text, [Control + C] to copy, enable the [RGB] layer to show all other channels, and go to the Layers tab.
Create a new layer, and go to [Edit -> Fill] to fill the selection with black color.
