A heavy, rounded display face with thick, inky silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes look chewed, eroded, and splattered, producing a vibrating edge texture and uneven counters that vary from glyph to glyph. The overall construction stays fairly upright with simple, chunky letterforms, while the distressed perimeter and lumpy terminals create a loose rhythm and unpredictable spacing texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, album/EP artwork, horror or Halloween titling, event flyers, and zine-style graphics. It works well where a gritty texture and handmade chaos are desirable, and where legibility can be secondary to mood and presence.
The font projects a messy, confrontational energy—like wet ink, sludge, or torn paper—giving it a raw, DIY attitude. Its distressed massing reads as spooky and abrasive, lending an off-kilter, theatrical tone that feels more rebellious than refined.
The design appears intended to simulate thick, wet ink with intentional decay—prioritizing texture and attitude over clean geometry. Its consistent blobby distress suggests a deliberate one-off display style meant to instantly signal grit, noise, and dark playfulness.
In longer lines, the edge noise and irregular counters build a strong texture that can dominate the page, especially at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain the same blobby distress, keeping the set visually consistent for loud, attention-grabbing settings.
