A rough, brush-driven display face with jagged edges and visible stroke breakup that mimics dry ink or worn printing. Letterforms are upright with sharp terminals, irregular curves, and uneven stroke boundaries that create a lively, distressed silhouette. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with noticeable glyph-to-glyph variability, and counters tend to be tight, helping the black shapes read as chunky, high-impact forms. Numerals follow the same textured construction, with bold, simplified shapes and occasional flicks and notches at stroke ends.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and cover art where the distressed brush texture can be appreciated. It works especially well for genre-forward themes (horror, fantasy, adventure) and for branding that aims for a rugged, handcrafted feel rather than clean neutrality.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—part brush lettering, part weathered poster type. Its rough texture and sharp, torn-looking terminals add urgency and drama, suggesting vintage print, rustic craft, or genre storytelling with an edge.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, brush-lettered voice with intentional wear and irregularity, capturing the look of expressive ink on rough paper or distressed print. The goal appears to be immediate impact and atmosphere over typographic smoothness or extended-reading comfort.
In longer text, the heavy texture and irregular outlines create strong visual noise, which can be a feature for atmosphere but reduces small-size clarity. The most consistent impression comes at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details and energetic rhythm remain legible.
