A compact, heavy display face with a condensed stance and emphatic vertical rhythm. Letterforms are built from chunky strokes with noticeably ragged, torn-looking edges and irregular counters, creating a worn, ink-bled silhouette. The texture is consistent across the set, with uneven contours, occasional notches, and softened corners that mimic distressed printing. Overall proportions stay legible and fairly upright, while the distressed treatment introduces subtle width fluctuations and a jittery surface.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display work such as posters, title cards, packaging accents, and event promos where texture is part of the message. It performs particularly well in horror, thriller, and gritty editorial contexts, as well as music and street-culture graphics. Use larger point sizes and generous tracking when you need maximum readability.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—more underground flyer than polished editorial. Its torn-ink texture and blunt forms evoke horror ephemera, DIY punk materials, and weathered signage, giving text a raw, confrontational tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed headline voice with a deliberately worn, distressed finish—capturing the look of rough printing, aged ink, or torn stencil-like forms while keeping letter shapes straightforward enough for punchy titles.
The distressed detailing is strong enough that small sizes and long passages can fill in and lose clarity, while larger settings preserve the rugged character and maintain recognizable shapes. Numerals and capitals carry the same eroded texture, helping headings and short statements feel cohesive.
