A rough, brush-painted display face with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly ragged edges. Letterforms show pronounced texture, with torn terminals, occasional spikes, and inky blotches that create a distressed silhouette. Curves are lumpy and organic, counters are irregular, and straight strokes wobble slightly, producing a lively, handmade rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, and the numerals carry the same smeared, scuffed texture as the letters for a cohesive look.
Ideal for short display text such as posters, horror or Halloween promotions, title treatments, album/film artwork, and game or streaming graphics that need a raw, unsettling voice. It also works well for logos or badges in dark-themed branding where texture and attitude are more important than clean readability.
The overall tone is ominous and gritty, like hurried lettering made with a loaded brush or marker. Its distressed contours and sharp flicks suggest suspense, danger, and a grimy underground energy, well suited to horror and thriller atmospheres.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised brush lettering with deliberate distress, using ragged edges, tapered strokes, and blotty ink build-up to create an unsettling, high-impact display style.
The font reads best at larger sizes where the texture and torn edges are clearly visible; at small sizes the roughness can merge and reduce clarity. The round letters (O, Q, 8, 9) emphasize a painted, slightly splattered feel, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, W) amplify the aggressive, scratchy character.
