A rough, ink-heavy display face with jagged, torn-looking contours and uneven stroke terminals that suggest dry-brush or worn printing. Strokes are thick with intermittent thinning and chipping, creating a mottled edge texture and small interior voids in places. Proportions are generally condensed, with lively irregularities in width and curve tension that keep the texture active across lines. Counters tend to be compact and occasionally pinched, while straight strokes wobble subtly, reinforcing a handmade, distressed rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, album artwork, merchandise graphics, and themed packaging. It also works for short bursts of UI or title treatment in games and streaming graphics when a gritty, handmade look is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking underground flyers, scratched signage, and B-movie title cards. Its rough texture reads as energetic and unpolished, with a slightly ominous edge that can lean toward horror or punk depending on context.
Designed to deliver immediate, high-impact texture with a deliberately imperfect, worn mark-making aesthetic. The intent appears to be a condensed, attention-grabbing face that communicates raw energy and atmosphere more than typographic neutrality.
At smaller sizes the distressed edges can visually fill in, so the texture and character are most legible when given room. The numerals and capitals carry the strongest impact, while lowercase maintains the same rough brush character with a slightly lighter visual footprint in running text.
