A rough, hand-rendered print face with compact proportions and strongly irregular contours. Strokes appear brush- or marker-like, with choppy edges, occasional spikes, and uneven terminals that create a distressed silhouette. Letterforms keep a generally upright stance and simple construction, but show deliberate wobble in verticals, asymmetry in bowls, and inconsistent stroke joins that emphasize an improvised, inked look. Counters are often tight and somewhat uneven, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanically uniform, giving lines of text a textured rhythm.
Well-suited for display use where texture and attitude are the goal: horror-themed posters, Halloween graphics, band/album art, skate or punk-inspired flyers, and dramatic headlines. It can work for short bursts of text in branding or packaging where a raw, handmade feel is desired, but the heavy texture is best kept for larger sizes.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—somewhere between DIY zine lettering and spooky poster titling. Its jagged texture and inky blotting suggest urgency and menace, while the casual, hand-drawn structure keeps it informal and expressive rather than formal or refined.
The design appears intended to mimic quickly painted or brushed lettering with a distressed finish, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over smooth polish. It aims to deliver a bold, gritty voice that reads as hand-made and slightly chaotic, ideal for expressive display typography.
Caps and lowercase share the same distressed treatment, helping headings and mixed-case lines feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same rough, slightly irregular drawing style, reading clearly but with intentionally imperfect curves and terminals that reinforce the worn, hand-inked character.
