A heavy, brush-mark display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and occasional ink-like voids in counters. Strokes feel pressure-driven and organic, with lumpy terminals, asymmetric curves, and subtly shifting proportions from glyph to glyph. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly chaotic, with open shapes staying readable at larger sizes while edges remain intentionally rough and textured.
Best suited to short-form typography where texture and attitude are the message: posters, album and merch graphics, game or film titles, event promotions, and bold packaging callouts. It performs well when set large, where the distressed edges and brushy texture can be appreciated without compromising legibility.
The font projects a scrappy, DIY attitude—part street-poster, part zine headline—with a playful roughness rather than polished refinement. Its uneven edges and bold mass give it an expressive, rebellious tone that can read as edgy, spooky, or comic depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-painted or stamped lettering with worn edges, delivering instant character and impact. Its consistent ruggedness suggests a deliberate move away from clean geometry toward expressive, imperfect forms that feel human-made and tactile.
Capitals are generally tall and blocky, while lowercase forms are compact and simplified, reinforcing a hand-rendered feel. Numerals match the same rugged construction, and the punctuation in the sample text carries the same distressed, inked-in character, helping the style stay consistent across lines.
