A heavy, slanted display face with aggressively distressed contours and uneven, torn-looking edges. Strokes are thick but broken by bites, nicks, and ink-like erosion, creating high visual texture and irregular internal counters. Letterforms vary in width and silhouette, with a lively, unstable rhythm and occasional blotting that makes curves and terminals feel carved or scraped rather than cleanly drawn.
Best used for short, high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, title cards, album/merch graphics, and game or film branding where texture and attitude are desired. It performs especially well at larger sizes on simple backgrounds, where the distressed edges can read as a deliberate stylistic feature.
The overall tone is unruly and atmospheric—suggesting grime, danger, and mischief more than polish. Its rough texture reads as tactile and expressive, lending a horror-comic, underground-zine energy that feels intentionally imperfect and attention-seeking.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, slanted headline voice with a deliberately eroded, ink-worn surface—prioritizing character and texture over neutrality. It’s built to feel handmade and chaotic, evoking scraped paint, rough printing, or distressed signage.
In text settings the dense black mass and heavy distressing reduce clarity at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the ragged edge detail and dramatic texture. Numerals match the same rough treatment, keeping a consistent, battered voice across the set.
