A rough, brushy display face with heavily irregular outlines and uneven stroke terminals that look torn or dry-brushed. Forms are slightly slanted with lively baseline wobble and inconsistent stroke swelling, creating a handmade rhythm. Counters are often lumpy and partially closed, and joins can appear blotted or scraped, contributing to an intentionally imperfect texture across letters and figures.
Best suited for short display settings where texture is part of the message—posters, cover art, headlines, and themed packaging. It works well for edgy entertainment, horror or thriller titling, and DIY/event promotion where a rough, analog look is desired.
The overall tone is aggressive and tactile, evoking distressed printing, DIY flyers, and ink that’s been dragged across paper. Its rough edges and energetic slant give it a rebellious, noisy presence that reads as gritty and slightly ominous rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed, hand-rendered lettering—like a dry brush, worn stencil, or over-inked print—prioritizing atmosphere and impact over smooth precision. The irregular contours and blotty terminals are used consistently to deliver a deliberately gritty signature.
Uppercase shapes stay broadly recognizable but lean into distortion, while lowercase and numerals maintain the same ragged texture and irregular widths, reinforcing a cut-and-paste or stamped feel. The font’s strong texture becomes a dominant visual element, especially in longer lines of text.
