A heavy, brush-driven display face with ragged, torn contours and frequent spurs where strokes terminate. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, uneven rhythm: widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, counters are irregular, and curves look carved out of dense ink. Strokes alternate between thick masses and thinner, frayed connections, creating a textured silhouette that reads more like painted marks than constructed geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, title cards, and cover art where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It works well for spooky or high-energy themes, as well as grunge-styled branding and packaging accents when used in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is rough and confrontational, with a street-poster immediacy and a darker, suspenseful edge. Its distressed texture and jagged terminals suggest urgency and intensity rather than refinement, giving it a gritty, handmade presence.
This design appears intended to emulate rough brush lettering and distressed print, prioritizing expressive texture and bold silhouettes over clean precision. The irregular edges and variable widths aim to inject motion and attitude into display typography.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the distressed edges and interior nicks remain intentional; at small sizes the rough texture can begin to close counters and blur fine details. Numerals and caps carry the same irregular, ink-worn treatment, keeping texture consistent across the set.
