A heavy, brushy display face with rough, torn-looking edges and strongly irregular stroke endings. Letterforms are mostly upright but intentionally uneven, with variable widths, inconsistent counters, and a choppy rhythm that suggests fast, textured mark-making rather than smooth curves. Terminals often appear frayed or chipped, and interior shapes can be angular and asymmetric, creating a distressed silhouette. Spacing feels slightly erratic, reinforcing the handmade, cut-and-brushed character in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, event flyers, album/track artwork, game titles, and themed graphics where rough texture is a feature. It works well for short headlines, logos, and callouts, especially on light backgrounds where the distressed edges can read clearly.
The overall tone is gritty and high-energy, with a slightly sinister, Halloween-adjacent edge. Its rough texture and uneven rhythm read as rebellious and DIY, evoking underground posters, horror titles, and punk/metal gig ephemera while still retaining an informal, hand-drawn friendliness.
The design appears intended to mimic an expressive brush or marker rendered with deliberate distress, prioritizing texture, attitude, and handmade energy over typographic regularity. Its forms aim to feel bold and spontaneous, giving designers a quick way to add grit and character to titles and branding moments.
The texture is integral to the design, so small sizes may lose detail as the distressed edges thicken and counters close. The strongest impact comes from the bold silhouettes and the ragged contour, which remain prominent in short phrases and headers.
