A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes, uneven widths, and aggressively jagged contours. Terminals look torn and chipped, with frequent spikes and notches that create a distressed silhouette; counters are irregular and sometimes partially occluded by ink-like texture. The rhythm is lively and inconsistent, with small shifts in stroke thickness and letterfit that reinforce an improvised, printed-by-hand feel while remaining broadly readable at larger sizes.
Best used for short headlines, title cards, packaging accents, and bold typographic moments where texture is part of the message. It fits posters, album artwork, and entertainment or seasonal graphics that benefit from a gritty, distressed presence, and it can also add a raw edge to logos or badges when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking zines, underground flyers, and genre titles with a macabre edge. Its distressed texture and sharp, frayed edges suggest tension and urgency, leaning toward dark, chaotic, and rebellious moods.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate distressed impact: a bold, tactile letterform with irregular “ink” breakup that reads as worn printing or rough brushwork. Its primary goal is atmosphere and attitude rather than neutrality, using jagged edges and uneven stroke behavior to create a dramatic, handcrafted look.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same roughened construction, with especially scratchy diagonals and wedge-like cuts in joins. Numerals carry the same distressed treatment and appear best suited for attention-grabbing settings rather than tabular or small-text use.
