A heavy, upright display face with rough, irregular contours and frequent internal nicks that make each glyph feel carved out or ink-worn. Strokes are chunky and simplified, with uneven edges and occasional thin notches that interrupt otherwise solid forms. Counters are small and sometimes partially filled, creating a dense, blotty texture across words. The overall construction stays mostly legible and monoline in spirit, but the distressed perimeter and inconsistent terminals give it a restless rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where texture is part of the message. It works well for horror, Halloween, punk/metal, streetwear, and gritty editorial art direction, and is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The font projects a raw, gritty tone—part underground flyer, part battered headline. Its eroded shapes and inky imperfections suggest menace, chaos, and DIY energy, lending an ominous or rebellious mood rather than polish or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold headline voice with built-in wear and ink breakup, emulating damaged printing or rough-cut lettering. Its goal seems to be immediate attitude and texture—adding atmosphere and edge without requiring additional effects.
Capitals feel blocky and compact while lowercase adds more wobble and irregularity, producing a lively, uneven color in text. Numerals match the same rugged treatment and read best when given space, as the dark mass and distressed counters can close up at smaller sizes or in long passages.
