A heavy, rough-edged display face with aggressively irregular contours and torn-looking terminals. Strokes feel carved or eroded, with jittery outlines and inconsistent curvature that produce a coarse texture across words. Letterforms are largely compact and upright, but width and internal counters vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding a restless rhythm. The texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, favoring chunky silhouettes and rugged interior shapes over clean geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, cover art, and splashy promotional graphics where the distressed texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It also fits themed applications such as horror or Halloween materials, punk/DIY aesthetics, and stylized in-game UI or title screens where a rough, handcrafted look is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, with a horror-adjacent, DIY energy. Its distressed shapes suggest something scraped, burned, or crudely stamped, lending an ominous yet playful attitude. The unevenness reads as intentionally off-kilter, creating a quirky, attention-seeking voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, expressive voice by prioritizing texture and irregularity over typographic neutrality. Its purpose is to look handmade and imperfect—like lettering cut from rough material or printed with a damaged stamp—creating immediate character in display sizes.
In continuous text the ragged edges create strong visual noise, so readability drops quickly at small sizes or in dense paragraphs. The bold mass holds up well on light backgrounds, and the irregular counter shapes add character in short phrases and titles.
