A compact, heavy display face with condensed proportions and an uneven, hand-inked silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in spirit, but edges are aggressively ragged, with torn-looking contours, nicks, and occasional interior voids that read like ink breakup or worn printing. Counters are small and irregular, terminals are blunt, and curves are lumpy rather than smooth, creating a restless rhythm across words. Overall spacing feels tight and blocky, with noticeable per-glyph variation that reinforces the distressed texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, event flyers, title cards, and merchandise graphics where texture is desirable. It can also work for branding marks or packaging accents when a rough, analog feel is needed, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small sizes due to the dense counters and heavy distressing.
The font projects a gritty, confrontational tone—evoking DIY posters, underground flyers, and genre aesthetics where roughness is part of the message. Its texture leans toward ominous and chaotic, giving headlines a horror-leaning bite while still feeling streetwise and rebellious.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, analog-surface aesthetic—like ink stamped on rough paper or letters cut and distressed—prioritizing texture and attitude over neutrality. Its condensed, heavyweight build supports punchy headlines while the irregular contours add a deliberately imperfect, gritty character.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture remains present even in continuous text. The condensed build and heavy ink coverage make it most legible at larger sizes where the ragged edges read as intentional detail rather than noise.
