A rough, brush-driven display face with visibly uneven contours and frequent stroke tapering, giving letters a wet-ink, hand-rendered look. Forms lean forward with a lively slant and show variable stroke energy—some terminals pinch to points while others end bluntly or with slight flare. Counters are often tight and slightly lopsided, and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, like lettering made quickly with a loaded brush or marker. Capitals are compact and spiky, while the lowercase is simpler and more gestural, with occasional descenders that hook or drag.
It performs best at larger sizes where the distressed contours and tapered strokes remain legible and contribute to the design. Suitable for punchy headlines, poster titling, album/track artwork, themed packaging, and short phrases where an imperfect, hand-inked voice is desired; less suited to long body text or small UI sizes.
The font conveys a raw, restless tone—part punk flyer, part spooky storybook, with a casual handmade edge. Its distressed texture reads as energetic and imperfect rather than polished, lending a sense of urgency, grit, and personality.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush lettering with intentionally rough edges and uneven stroke buildup. Its goal is to add character and atmosphere—suggesting handmade authenticity and a slightly menacing or gritty theme—while remaining readable for display settings.
Spacing appears irregular by design, with some glyphs feeling wider or more compressed, which enhances the handcrafted effect. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with loose curves and asymmetric weight distribution that keeps the set cohesive in display use.
