A rough, hand-drawn display face with thick, brushy strokes and heavily irregular contours. Terminals are frayed and torn-looking, with occasional ink-like blobs and tapered ends that create a distressed silhouette. Curves are slightly lumpy and counters are uneven, giving the letters a lively, imperfect rhythm; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph while maintaining an overall compact footprint. The numerals match the same distressed texture, with simplified forms and uneven stroke edges for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, event flyers, title cards, and bold pull quotes where the distressed texture is an asset. It also works well for themed applications like horror and Halloween graphics, band/album artwork, skate or streetwear branding, and packaging that benefits from a rough, stamped or brushed feel.
The texture and jagged edges project a gritty, eerie energy—more DIY and underground than polished or elegant. It reads as intentionally messy and dramatic, suggesting horror, Halloween, punk/garage aesthetics, and zine-like handmade graphics.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering or inked signage that has been weathered or dry-brushed, prioritizing character and texture over typographic refinement. Its consistent distress treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures suggests a deliberate goal of creating an expressive, high-impact display voice.
At text sizes the distressed edges can visually fill in small counters, so it tends to read best when given breathing room and adequate size. The irregular baseline and stroke flare add motion and attitude, especially in all-caps headlines.
