A distressed display face with rough, ragged contours and uneven stroke terminals that feel like torn paper or dry-brush ink. Forms are mostly monoline but wobble subtly, with occasional thickened joins and pinched curves that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially clogged, and many letters show small spikes, drips, or nicks along the edges that read as intentional texture rather than clean geometry. The overall construction stays legible, but the distressed detailing is prominent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, event posters, album or merch graphics, and game or streaming key art. It can work for punchy pull quotes or headers, but the rough detailing is more effective at larger sizes than in dense body text.
The texture and jagged finishing give the font a dark, eerie energy reminiscent of horror titling, DIY punk graphics, and worn poster printing. It conveys tension and urgency while still maintaining a playful, handmade personality in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a legible display alphabet that looks physically distressed—like ink dragged with a dry brush or type printed on rough stock—so designers can add grit and menace without additional effects.
Uppercase shapes lean on simplified, sturdy silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more handwritten variance (notably in rounded letters and descenders), reinforcing the organic feel. Numerals match the same distressed logic, with roughened curves and chipped edges that keep the set visually consistent.
