A heavy, brushy display face with ragged, eroded contours and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are thick and irregular, with pronounced textural breaks and occasional interior voids that read like wet ink pooling or distressed printing. Letterforms are generally upright but loosely constructed, with inconsistent stroke widths and lively, asymmetric silhouettes that create a jittery rhythm. The lowercase maintains a readable skeleton while preserving the same torn-edge texture, and the numerals echo the blobby, distressed massing for strong tonal consistency.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where texture is an asset. It works especially well for horror-leaning themes, underground music or club flyers, and game or film title treatments. Use larger point sizes and generous line spacing to preserve legibility and let the distressed edges read clearly.
The font conveys a raw, ominous energy—somewhere between handmade street lettering and horror-prop typography. Its splattered edges and dripping details suggest grit, danger, and urgency, giving text a dramatic, confrontational presence.
The design appears intended to simulate aggressive, wet-ink brush lettering and distressed print artifacts in a cohesive display style. Its primary goal is atmosphere and immediacy, prioritizing bold silhouettes and gritty texture over clean typographic regularity.
Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally uneven to amplify the handmade effect, and the texture becomes a key part of the letter identity rather than a subtle overlay. The distressed detailing is dense enough that small sizes or low-resolution output may lose internal counters and fine gaps, while larger sizes emphasize the expressive brush character.
